The former actor and politician, who was condemned by Holocaust charities over posting a rainbow flag swastika on social media, is accused of posting an upskirt photo of Kaur in April 2024. The image, taken by paparazzi over 15 years ago, resurfaced on Fox’s social media account.
Following an investigation by the Met Police, Fox has now been formally charged and he will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on April 24 to face a charge under section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which criminalises the sharing of intimate images without consent.
A spokesperson for the Force confirmed the charge, stating: “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, 2025. The charge relates to an image that was posted on a social media platform in April 2024.”
Upskirting, which involves taking or distributing images taken under a person’s clothing without their consent, was made a specific criminal offence in 2019. Those convicted can face up to two years in prison and may be placed on the sex offenders register.
Since the charge was announced, Fox has reacted defiantly online, dismissing the case as “ridiculous” and claiming it demonstrates bias in the justice system. He has vowed to challenge the accusation, calling it “malicious nonsense.”
