Stripper in court after ‘jiggling bride-to-be's breasts at prosecco & pizza hen party – causing her to run off & vomit'

The Sun3 days ago
A STRIPPER has gone on trial accused of "jiggling a bride-to-be's breasts" during a performance at her hen party.
Stuart Kennedy, who was dressed as a firefighter, had been hired by the woman's sister for the prosecco and pizza bash at the hotel.

The 42-year-old allegedly groped the bride's breasts and forced her legs open despite her repeatedly telling him: "No thank you".
She told Perth Sheriff Court she was in "shock" as Kennedy allegedly waved his crotch "within half a foot" of the woman's face.
The hen also said in her evidence she was "cringing away from constantly" and had tried to make clear she was "not a willing participant".
She added: "He forced his hands between my thighs to open my legs. I resisted it but I was also frightened by now. His first move was to make me simulate giving him oral sex.
"I started comply with him because I didn't know what he was going to do next. He still had his trousers on. He had sewn a fake erection into the crotch. It felt like a bean bag.
"He was fiddling with the button on my shirt at one point. At my cleavage. There was more grinding against my thigh. I was trying to keep my legs together."
She told the court Kennedy "violated" her and licked her nose with her tongue - although she said it was not intentional as he was simulating kissing her.
The woman also told how he "jiggled" her breasts and made her drink through a penis-shaped straw during the party in March last year.
She said when he at first burst into the luxury hotel in Scotland, she "started crying and panicking" before realising she would have to "grin and bear it".
But she said after Kennedy allegedly groped her, some of her hens "gasped" and were "all panicking".
The woman continued: "When he was not near me I bolted towards the door.
"I made it to the bathroom. I was physically sick. I vomited in the toilet. I was crying hysterically and screaming and grabbing my hair."
Her middle sister, who paid around £400 to Aberdeen-based AlphaMale Strippers & Butlers to hire Kennedy, said she immediately realised it was a mistake.
She told the trial she "one hundred per cent" had regrets about booking the performer.
But the woman's younger sister later told police Kennedy had done a "Magic Mike sort of thing" and put his legs over the bride-to-be.
She said she believed the way the stripper "stormed in" may have "triggered" her sibling and explained she got upset and left when Kennedy started "dry humping" her.
The sister continued: "I enjoyed myself and I don't remember anything you wouldn't expect from a stripper at a hen party."
Kennedy denies sexually assaulting the woman and causing her to participate in sexual activity by sitting on her, seizing her by the head and restraining her.
The trial continues.

Sally Rooney could be arrested under Terrorism Act after pledging royalties to Palestine Action

Irish novelist Sally Rooney could be arrested under the Terrorism Act after saying she intends to use proceeds from her work to support Palestine Action, which was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK last month, a legal expert has warned. Earlier, No 10 said that supporting the group was an offence under the act, after Rooney had made her pledge. Royalties from Rooney's books, including Normal People and Conversations with Friends, and BBC adaptations of them would be used to support Palestine Action, she wrote in the Irish Times over the weekend. The legal expert also said that the bestselling writer could face prosecution if she were to express her views at, for example, a UK book festival, underscoring the proscription's 'gross disproportionality'. While the prime minister's spokesperson would not respond to the author's comments specifically, they said that there was 'a difference between showing support for a proscribed organisation, which is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and legitimate protest in support of a cause', according to the Press Association. Asked what message No 10 would give to people considering donating money to Palestine Action, the spokesperson said: 'Support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act and obviously the police will, as they have set out, implement the law as you'd expect.' More than 700 people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in relation to the group since it was proscribed in early July, many of whom were detained at a peaceful protest on 9 August in Parliament Square, London. 'My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets,' wrote Rooney on Saturday. 'In recent years the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. I want to be clear that I intend to use these proceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on supporting Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can.' Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation after activists broke into an RAF base in Oxfordshire and spray painted two planes. They 'knew, of course, that their actions were illegal,' Rooney wrote in the Guardian in June. 'From the suffragettes to the gay rights movement to the anti-apartheid struggle, genuine political resistance has always involved intentional law-breaking.' In her Irish Times article last weekend, Rooney said that she 'would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper – but that would now be illegal'. Rooney's books also include Beautiful World, Where Are You and, most recently, Intermezzo. Lawyer and writer Sadakat Kadri said: 'Receiving money with the intention of using it to support terrorism is an offence under section 15 of the 2000 act.. That means Rooney could be arrested without a warrant as a 'terrorist'.' He added that 'the absurdities don't end there', and said the decision of the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, to bracket Palestine Action with groups such as Islamic State meant the BBC would also be criminally liable if it continued to pay royalties to Rooney. in view of her stated intentions. 'Authoritarian governments routinely threaten writers and intimidate broadcasters, but I find it quite extraordinary that Labour under Keir Starmer has now chosen to go down the same path.' Asked whether Rooney could face legal repercussions if she, for example, spoke at a book festival in the UK, Kadri said that 'there's certainly a risk she'd fall foul' of the law. If Rooney expressed 'her views in terms of condemning the war crimes being committed in Gaza, an arguable case for prosecution could be made out'. 'Saying that isn't for one moment an attempt to justify the statute,' said Kadri, which he described as 'a shameful attack' on free speech. 'It's just a particularly stark illustration of the measure's gross disproportionality.' Mike Schwarz, head of the public inquiry team at the legal firm Hodge Jones & Allen, said that 'anyone providing money which might, in the state's eyes, fund 'terrorism' and, separately, anyone supporting an organisation proscribed under terrorism legislation runs a very real risk of serious police interest and prosecution for grave offences in the UK. This seems particularly the case in the current febrile political climate surrounding Palestine Action.'
