Man staying at hotel that has been focus of protests denies sexual assault charge
A man staying at a hotel that has been the focus of a series of protests has denied a charge of sexual assault and faces a trial next month. Mohammed Sharwarq, a 32-year-old Syrian national, was arrested after police were called to the Bell Hotel on the Epping High Road in Essex yesterday, police said. Sharwarq, who is alleged to have kissed a man on the neck, indicated a plea of not guilty to a charge of sexual assault at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court today. He indicated guilty pleas to six further charges concerning four complainants - with two counts of common assault and four of assault by beating. Sharwarq is alleged to have punched a man in the face, thrown an object at a man, slapped a third man in the face and attempted to punch a fourth. Sky News understands the alleged offences took place inside the hotel between 25 July and 12 August. District judge Lynette Woodrow remanded Sharwarq, who was assisted in court by an Arabic interpreter, in custody until his trial on 30 September. The arrest followed weeks of protests outside the hotel.
