A Tory whip informed Scotland Yard about allegations of sexual assault by Conservative politician Charlie Elphicke after her local police station did not respond to the claims. The former MP for Dover has also been accused of sexually assaulting a Parliamentary worker twice in 2016 inside the Palace of Westminster. Mr Elphicke, a father-of-two, has denied all three counts of sexual assault. Eloise Marshall questioned DCI Mick McInerney about an interview between Metropolitan Police and Mr Elphicke in 2018. She alleged Elphicke tried to kiss her, groped her breast, then chased her around his home while trying to grab her bottom.
