Ex-Dover MP Charlie Elphicke 'cannot afford' £35k fine
A former MP who was jailed for sexually assaulting two women said he cannot afford £35,000 he owes in court costs.
The court heard Elphicke received £51,000 from the sale of his marital home, but most of the money had been used "in legal fees and to pay rent". He said he was working with the job centre and a probation officer to find a new career and must find somewhere else to live after separating with his wife Natalie Elphicke, the current MP for Dover.
