Laurence Fox Charged Over Narinder Kaur Upskirting Image
Laurence Fox, the former actor-turned-political activist, has found himself in legal trouble after being charged with a sexual offence related to an intimate image of TV personality Narinder Kaur. The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the matter, which culminated in Fox facing legal action for allegedly sharing an upskirting image of Kaur on social media without her consent.

The controversy erupted in April 2024 when Fox, 46, reportedly posted the compromising image of Kaur, known for her appearances on Good Morning Britain and GB News . The image, which was taken over 15 years ago, was shared publicly, sparking immediate outrage. Kaur, now 52, took to social media to express her distress, describing the experience as "unimaginably mortifying." The incident quickly gained traction, drawing widespread criticism from the public and media alike.
In response to the backlash, Fox issued an apology but simultaneously attempted to deflect responsibility, stating that it was not his "fault" the image existed in the first place. However, his statement did little to quell the growing concerns over the violation of privacy and consent.
Following a one-month investigation, the Metropolitan Police charged Fox under Section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. This law, introduced to criminalize acts such as upskirting and cyber-flashing, carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. Sharing such images, even if not personally taken, is considered a serious offence under UK law.
Fox is set to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on April 24 to face the charges. The case has once again highlighted the legal and ethical implications of sharing explicit content without consent, reinforcing the importance of digital responsibility in the age of social media.
Fox, who has been a controversial figure in recent years, was previously dismissed from GB News in October 2023 following an on-air outburst about journalist Ava Evans. His transition from actor to political activist has been marked by numerous controversies, and this latest legal trouble adds another chapter to his turbulent public life.
This case underscores the ongoing battle against online sexual offences and the necessity for stricter enforcement of laws protecting individuals from digital exploitation. As the legal proceedings unfold, the public awaits to see the consequences Fox may face for his actions.
