3 groped by pal’s hubby

A MAN hired a hot tub for his wife’s birthday then groped three women.

Boozed-up Phillip Rankin, 28, fondled two of them in the tub, one while he talked to his wife, and a third in the kitchen.

They felt “scared and panicky”, a court heard.

Rankin, of Malvern, who admitted sex assaults, was given a community order and put on the sex offenders’ register.

Worcester magistrates heard he had lost his job and no longer lives with his wife and children.
