LAURENCE Fox has pleaded not guilty to two sex offences after he allegedly shared an upskirting photo of TV star Narinder Kaur.
The disgraced actor and failed politician, 46, is accused of re-posting the image on his X account in April 2024.
It showed Narinder, who rose to fame on Big Brother, climbing out of a taxi in 2009.
The photo was taken without the TV star’s consent or knowledge.
Fox arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for a first appearance today wearing a “Two tier Britain” cap.
He denied two offences under section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
The first charge alleges on April 30 last year, he “intentionally shared a photograph which showed, or appeared to show, another person, namely Narinder Kaur, in an intimate state, with the intention of causing that person alarm, distress or humiliation’.
The second says Fox “intentionally sent” a photograph of Narinder’s genitals “intending that the person or another person would see…and for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, and being reckless as to whether that person would be caused alarm, distress or humiliation”.
Fox opted for a crown court trial so will appear at Woolwich on May 23.
If convicted, he faces up to two years in prison and could be placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
Narinder – who has waived her right to anonymity – reported the image when it was shared online, triggering an 11-month investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
She previously said she felt “violated, humiliated and degraded” by the incident.
In 2019, Fox moved away from his acting work, where he was best known for detective series Lewis.
Since then, Fox has repeatedly come under fire for his views on race, gender and Covid.
He was sacked from GB News in 2023 after making sexist remarks about a female journalist live on air.
Fox attempted to move into politics and ran to replace Sadiq Khan as London Mayor under his political group, the Reclaim Party.
But he only managed to pull in 47,000 votes in 2021 and lost his £10,000 deposit in the process.
He married actress and singer Billie Piper in December 2007 and they have two sons, now aged 11 and 15.
The couple separated in March 2016, with their divorce finalised two months later.
