Man Accused Of Sleepover Grope

Court Date: Phillip Green

A Scunthorpe man, accused of groping a young woman during a night time sleepover at a south-west London address, has appeared in court for the first time.

Phillip Andrew Green, 55, of Cliff Avenue, Winterton was bailed by Wimbledon Magistrates Court to appear at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on March 27.

He faces one count of sexual assault on the woman, aged in her twenties, by touching at a flat in Churchill House, Station Road, Hampton on July 27, last year.

The court heard Green was sharing a room with the complainant and her friend, all sleeping on separate air-mattresses, when he allegedly edged closer during the night and made skin-on-skin contact under her clothing.

He was bailed on condition he does not contact the complainant or her friend.
