Liberal Democrat Mike Hancock has resigned the party whip while he contests allegations of sexual assault.

The Portsmouth South MP is being sued in a High Court civil action by a female constituent who had contacted him for help in a neighbour dispute.

Mr Hancock said he "completely refuted" the claims and was "vigorously" defending himself.

Mr Hancock, who has been an MP since 1997 and also sits on Portsmouth City Council, was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault in 2010 but never charged.

He was accused of "inappropriate behaviour", which he denied, towards a female constituent following a series of visits he made to her home.

It was alleged he placed his hand on her breast, exposed himself and kissed her without consent.

Mr Hancock hit the headlines in 2011 when he had an affair with his aide, Katia Zatuliveter, who was accused of being a Russian spy.

Politicians, eh ..... :rolleyes:

You know,anyone accused of this in any other job would be at the very least suspended and without pay likely too were a client or customer to have made such an allegation.

This is one of his constituents,yet he is allowed to continue his duties there.
Okay, he is supposedly innocent until proven guilty but the arrogance of these people who think resigning from the party whip is enough when such options don't exist for the rest of the population is becoming beyond belief.

As bad as the allegation of this, at the very least inappropriate action, gainst him while in public office,is his accusation, while being MP of the constituency, that his constituent is a liar in fact.

Those moralist Lib Dems are seemingly worse,with far less MPs too than the other 2 parties.
