The CPS has today announced that Conor McGinn, 41, has been charged with one count of sexual assault in connection to an allegation of sexual assault made by a woman in July 2022.
Jessica Walker, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor of CPS London South said:
“The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to charge Conor McGinn with one count of sexual assault following a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault in July 2022.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this charge to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegation.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."

- Conor McGinn, DOB 31/07/1984, is of Lambeth
- He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court at 10am on Friday 27 February 2026.
- The function of the CPS is not to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make fair, independent and objective assessments about whether it is appropriate to present charges for a criminal court to consider.
- The CPS assessment of any case is not in any sense a finding of, or implication of, any guilt or criminal conduct. It is not a finding of fact, which can only be made by a court, but rather an assessment of what it might be possible to prove to a court, in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
