Story summary
- High Court dismissed former Blue singer Lee Ryan’s challenge to his assault conviction, deeming it frivolous and remanding the case for sentencing.
- He was convicted of racially aggravated assault after calling a Black British Airways cabin crew member a “sweet chocolate chip cookie” and grabbing her wrists on July 31, 2022 Glasgow-London flight.
- Judges found Ryan’s police admission of the wrist-grab more credible than his trial denial, citing intoxication and inconsistent statements.
