EMMERDALE actress
Roxanne Pallett has been left shaken after
being groped by a reveller in a busy
restaurant.Roxy, who plays domestic violence victim Jo Stiles, was in Manchester’s swanky Panacea restaurant and bar when a stranger grabbed her behind.
Luckily, the pervert backed off when the 25-year-old threw her drink in his face.
Now pals of the actress have urged her to contact police – but Roxy did not bring the incident to the attention of the management.
Bravely speaking about the attack, Roxanne said: “I was out for a quiet drink with my friend when this guy just came up to me and pinched me on the bottom. I was furious.
“I ended up pouring my drink over him because I was so annoyed.”
Legal experts say bum-pinchers can be charged with common or even sexual assault.
Last year a bottom pinch on a Channel 4 News reporter led to a police investigation.
Sue Turton was groped live on air while reporting on flooding in Oxford but she chose not to take the culprit, jobless Rufus Burdett, to court.
SINC SAYS:
I don’t know how a guy can screw up the courage to pinch a lady’s behind. It’s beyond me.
