Read our privacy policy There is a “very real possibility” a man accused of assaulting Professor Sir Chris Whitty could be jailed, a court has heard. Rabah Kherbane, defending, asked for the case to be adjourned after Chew’s former solicitor withdrew due to being “professionally embarrassed” following the defendant’s behaviour in court. Delivering his ruling about adjourning the hearing, Mr Goldspring warned: “Mr Chew should be aware that Mr Kherbane has rightfully said there is a very real possibility there could be a custodial sentence.” Hughes, from Romford in Essex, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating in July last year and was handed a suspended sentence.
