A naked butler accused of battering his glamour model girlfriend has walked free after his charges were dropped today.
Callan Swadling, 27, was accused of assaulting Sabina Evangelista, 30, at her home in Bognor, West Sussex.
But the charges were dismissed at Worthing Magistrates’ court after Miss Evangelista declined to take the witness stand against her partner, who she arrived at court with.
However Swadling, who owns Butlers Exclusive, a company that hires out naked butlers for events, was convicted of criminal damage.

The court heard Miss Evangelista and Swadling’s sister Rebecca had gone to the pub for a night of drinking on the evening of May 6.
But after collecting the pair and dropping his sister to his girlfriend’s flat to pick up her belongings, Swadling became impatient and forced his way through the door, damaging the frame.
Kirsten Sharp, prosecuting, said: ‘Swadling was in a bad mood and Miss Evangelista had had enough of him so she and his sister went to the flat and locked the door behind them.
‘But she had dropped a set of keys in the car and he used them to enter the house.
‘He then pushed the door, with a chain attached to a piece of doorway already weakened by previous damage.’
Beverly Rayner, defending, said: ‘Swadling thought his sister was collecting her bag and was waiting in the car to take her home.
‘But he was concerned about her being sick. So he went to find out what was going on using the key he found but did not realise there was a chain on the door.’
Swadling, of Bognor, admitted criminal damage to property valued under £5,000. He was given a six-month conditional discharge.
