The court heard how Elphicke contacted the woman after the incident and warned her about talking to others. Elphicke is alleged to have sexually assaulted the same woman later in 2016 when he ran his hand up her leg. Asked by counsel Ms Marshall in court if she found Elphicke attractive, the woman replied: "Absolutely not." Elphicke, Dover MP from 2010 until 2019 when he stood down and was succeeded by his wife, denies three counts of sexual assault.
