Outside court: Tycoon Crispin Odey
Hedge fund tycoon Crispin Odey said he felt enormous relief after being cleared of an indecent assault charge.
The Brexiteer tycoon told The Mail on Sunday last night that he was breathing a sigh of relief that was more than huge .
Odey, 62, was found not guilty on Thursday of an alleged assault against a junior female banker near his home in Chelsea in 1998.
He was alleged to have lunged at the woman, then in her mid-20s, after inviting her to his house.
But District Judge Nicholas Rimmer, sitting at Westminster magistrates court, said there were inconsistencies in the complainant s account and ruled in Odey s favour.
