My understanding of that alleged '''''assault''''' was that (a)it was an uncorroborated story in one of the UK's more lurid tabloids at exactly the time the national hysteria about showbiz sexual misdemeanours was at its height, and (b) the substance, such as it was, consisted in Rossiter being an observer of an assault allegedly committed by another. Not that this reflects well on him, if it happened as it was salaciously reported, but the story had died a death until one contributor here chose to revive it.
