Sir Philip Green has been charged with four counts of misdemeanour assault in the US over the weekend. The allegations from a fitness instructor in Arizona who said Green repeatedly touched her inappropriately.
The incidents allegedly occurred at the Canyon Ranch resort in Tucson in 2016 and 2018. However Green has “strenuously” denied the accusations. Pima County Attorney’s Office said each count carries a potential sentence of up to 30 days in jail and Green could be fined up to $500 (£400) as well as face year of probation on each count.
In a statement, Arcadia said the following: “Sir Philip strenuously denies these allegations and is disappointed that the charges have been filed in his absence and they are minor categories of misdemeanour in the US.
Furthermore, another 25 stores under the Evans and Miss Selfridge fascias will shut down as part of separate insolvency proceedings, including the flagship Miss Selfridge store, located on Oxford Street, London.
