Laurence Fox has been charged with a sexual offence after he allegedly “shared an upskirting photo” of Narinder Kaur, a TV presenter, on social media. The Telegraph has the story.
In a tweet posted in April last year, the 46-year-old is said to have shared a compromising image of the broadcaster, who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain and GB News.
Posting on X at the time, Kaur, 52, said the image was “unimaginably mortifying”.
Fox addressed the situation in an extended post the following day, in which he said he “would like to apologise” to Kaur. He then went on to say that “it’s not my fault” Kaur was pictured in the compromising image more than 15 years ago.
Police have charged the former GB News presenter after a one-month investigation. He is due to appear at court next month.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “A man has been charged with a sexual offence following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
“Laurence Fox, 46, will appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on April 24 charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The charge relates to an image that was posted on a social media platform in April 2024.”
Upskirting – taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission – became a specific criminal offence in 2019. Offenders can face up to two years in jail and be placed on the sex offenders register.
