🚆 Former Labour MP Gwynoro Jones, 83, has been cleared of allegations of groping a woman on a train. During his trial, Jones denied any sexual intent, claiming any contact was accidental. The jury at Swansea Crown Court agreed, acquitting him of the charges.
This incident took place on a Great Western Railway service heading to Swansea. Prosecutors claimed Jones made the woman, who he reportedly complimented on her looks, uncomfortable with his comments and actions. Despite this, the jury found no grounds for conviction.
Jones, who represented Carmarthen between 1970 and 1974, was visibly relieved as the judge allowed him to leave the dock. He is now looking to recover his legal costs, having not received legal aid for this trial.
