Lib Dem activist arrested on suspicion of sexual assault at Glee Club event – POLITICO

BRIGHTON, England — A Liberal Democrat activist has been arrested over allegations that a woman was sexually assaulted at a sing-a-long event at the party’s annual conference.

A woman attending the get-together complained to staff she had been touched on the backside during Glee Club, a three-hour event in which members sing songs parodying British politics.

Private security staff escorted a man from Brighton’s Grand Hotel, where the event was being held, in the early hours on Tuesday. The incident was later reported to Sussex Police. Lib Dem officials are aware and have offered support to the complainant.
