Paul Gascoigne cleared of sexual assault after kissing woman on train

Paul Gascoigne's solicitor Imogen Cox reads a statement on his behalf after he was cleared of both sexual and common assault by a jury at Teesside Combined Court. The 52-year-old former England midfielder told jurors he had no sexual intention when he planted the sloppy kiss on the stranger, who he said had been abused by another passenger. Gascoigne, who denied a single charge of sexual assault, told the court that he kissed the woman on the York to Newcastle train in August 2018 to boost her confidence after he claimed he heard someone call her fat.
