Actress ‘was groped at a photoshoot’
A THEATRE photographer groped an aspiring actress after persuading her to remove her underwear in a photoshoot, a court heard.
Pascal Molliere, 52, put his hand on her bottom in his studio and kissed her on the lips as he dropped her off at the train station afterwards, she claimed.
The woman said she was “uncomfortable about being touched that way”.
She later emailed him saying: “I haven’t had so much platonic fun without my clothes on for a while.”
But she told a court she had written it to keep him on side because of his industry contacts.
Molliere, of Surbiton, Surrey, is also accused of groping another woman’s breast. He denies sexual assault. The trial continues at Southwark crown court.
