The complaint was made following an alleged incident in September 2021, Newport Magistrates’ Court heard.

NOTE: This article has been updated because the original version wrongly stated the alleged incident took place at Potters pub in Newport. This information came from the court records. The charge against Gair has since been updated to correct the location of the alleged offence and we have therefore updated the story to reflect that.
