1:10Now PlayingIn December 2014, Mark Pearson was walking through Waterloo Underground station when he passed, and may have brushed against, a woman who turned out to be a well-known actress. She accused him of a serious sexual assault and of hitting her on the shoulder, with the case going to trial. There were no witnesses and was no forensic evidence.
