A British Conservative MP and his wife have abused their lesbian housekeeper to the brink of suicide when they groped her as they proposed a threesome, an employment tribunal has heard.<\/p>\n
The couple, known only as Mr and Mrs P, allegedly molested their middle-aged employee and tried to perform a sex act on her as she sat drinking a beer, The Daily Mail<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n
She said she \u00cb\u0153had no option\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 but to resign after being kicked out of the house, \u00cb\u0153threatened unreasonably with disciplinary action\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 and pressured into a compromise agreement.<\/p>\n
The tribunal judge heard the housekeeper – who had recently split from her partner – was invited to have a drink in the couple\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s lounge before the alleged assault in August last year.<\/p>\n
She said she reluctantly joined them, adding: \u00c5\u201cMr P was standing near the fireplace to the right of the sofa and his wife was standing near the television directly opposite\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cA few moments after I sat on the sofa. Mr P came and sat down next to me, quite close so I moved up. Mrs P then came and sat on the floor between his legs. I felt very uncomfortable with Mr P sitting so close to me and opted to sit on the edge of the sofa\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cFollowing a short conversation, Mrs P placed her drink on a tray and began to French kiss Mr P who was sat next to me\u201d, said the housekeeper.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI was extremely embarrassed and looked away out the windows to my left as I really did not know what to do. I hoped that they would soon stop.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cInstead, I felt a hand touch me in my crotch.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI was extremely shocked and jumped at the feel of the hand in this place and saw that it was Mrs P\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s hand reaching into my crotch. She was rubbing it and feeling me.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI shot back into the back of the sofa and as soon as I\u00e2\u201e\u00a2d done this, Mr P then proceeded to place his hand on the top of my thigh.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI was very shocked and scared by what was happening and shot to my feet. I said “I\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m sorry, I\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m not into this sort of thing” and I quickly left the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u00c5\u201cAs I left, I could hear Mrs P giggling. They both clearly thought it very funny but I was extremely upset and scared and went directly into my room and I barricaded my door.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI didn\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t know what was going to happen. My heart was pounding and I didn\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t sleep that night.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that the MP would appear around the house naked and she did not think it was accidental.<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cI felt considerably low and considered suicide as life did not seem worth living. I was without a job or a home through no fault of my own\u201d, the poor housekeeper said.<\/p>\n
