THE trial of Chris Brain continued this week, when the founder of the Nine O’Clock Service (NOS) in Sheffield gave evidence at Inner London Crown Court in south London. Mr Brain, 68, now of Park Road, Wilmslow, in Cheshire, is being tried on 36 charges of indecent assault and one of rape, involving 13 women. The women wore tight clothing and lingerie while doing their duties, the court heard, and were referred to as “the Lycra lovelies” and “Lycra nuns”. Asked about their attire, Mr Brain said “I wasn’t prescribing what to wear, it was completely normal for that era and that place,” according to a report in The Times. The massages were intended to relieve tension headaches, Mr Brain said.
