Vijay Aggarwal
Sasha Wass, representing Aggarwal, an Indian citizen, at Southwark crown court, pleaded for bail, saying Aggarwal “is not a violent predator attacking women in streets”. On another, he kissed and hugged a woman and sexually assaulted her, the court was told. Refusing bail, judge Alexander Milne said: “On the face of it, this was a deeply disturbing planned and sinister attempt to draw young women into a position where they had no choice but to comply with his sexual wishes.
On one occasion he tried to slide his hand down a woman’s chest. This suggests a man prepared to abuse his status as a senior and experienced lawyer with money and power to pursue his own ends.” London: A judge refused bail on Wednesday to Indian lawyer Vijay Aggarwal, accused of sexual assault and human trafficking , saying there was a major risk of him fleeing to avoid trial as he had no strong ties to the UK and the allegations he faced were serious.
