THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST DAVID MATTHEWS – PIPPA’S FATHER-IN-LAW  

David Matthews was accused of two offences in the late 1990s, one in Paris and one on the island of St Barts where the millionaire owned a hotel.

The woman at the centre of the claims contacted police last year and initially told officers Mr Matthews had acted inappropriately towards her when she was 15.

The Matthews family said at the time of the Paris probe: ‘David Matthews categorically denies the allegation and unequivocally contests the untrue and scandalous accusation.’

His alleged victim, now aged 34, lives in the UK but is understood to have come forward to police in Paris last year.

Her mother is said to be ‘helping her with the case’ which was first reported in April this year.

Statute of limitations for rape cases in France is 20 years after the victim has turned 18.

The victim in this case would have turned 18 in 2003. This means the case can be dealt with up until 2023.

The former racing driver turned property dealer was arrested by judicial police linked to the Juvenile Protection Brigade (BPM) after landing at Paris’ Orly Airport on 27th March where he spent two days in custody. 

He was held for 48 hours and questioned before appearing at the Palais de Justice, where he was charged with the ‘rape of a minor by a person with authority over his victim’, a crime that carries a maximum 15-year jail sentence in France. 

Just days after his first allegation Mr Matthews faced claims that he raped a second woman with Now South Yorkshire Police said to be investigating second allegation of rape from another woman dating from the 1980s, the Sun reported.   

Mr Matthews strongly denies the claims.  

Birthday boy Spencer appeared to be in a jovial spirit donning a rainbow coloured sailor hat as he celebrated alongside friends and family.

He and sister-in-law Pippa appeared to be getting along famously with Spencer seen putting a friendly hand on her cheek as they chatted on his balcony.  

Pippa first confirmed her ‘happy news’ in her Waitrose Weekend column in June after several months of speculation.

The 34-year-old also revealed she had passed the first trimester without suffering the morning sickness her elder sibling experienced at the start of all three of her pregnancies.

The Jump star’s animated display comes as he opened up the The Times’ about leaving his partying and lothario in the past. 

Spencer, who had given up alcohol while training for an Iron Man earlier this year, explained how he no longer looks to have all eyes on him and wants to be a ‘better example’ to his unborn son. 

He said: ‘I think you get bored. I’ve no interest in being the centre of attention that I used to love.

‘I want to set a better example for my unborn son, who is going to be with us soon and my ideal night is spending it in with Vogue.’

Continuing to discuss change, Spencer admitted that he’s moved on from his womanising past, which was documented during his tenure on Made In Chelsea, and vowed that he would never be unfaithful to Irish presenter Vogue.

‘The idea of being unfaithful would be a momentous waste of time. I wouldn’t want to do that to her. Things change.’ 

Spencer was joined by his family as well as former cast members including Oliver Proudlock, Hugo Taylor, Millie Mackintosh, Jamie Laing
