My virgin taunt, by 'sex bully'

The alleged ringleader of three women Abbey National employees accused of sexual bullying today admitted taunting an 18-year-old colleague about his lack of sexual experience.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims she made the comments after Anthony King, who is also a Michael Jackson impersonator, questioned her aggressively about her sex life.

She told the Stratford employment tribunal: "He asked if I became excited when I bathed my two little boys and whether I got any enjoyment out of it. I was very upset. I did comment as to whether he had a small penis or whether he was a virgin. I regret having made those remarks. They were not appropriate."

Mr King told the tribunal he never asked the questions. He claims the same woman flashed her breasts at him and pretended to kiss and fondle another female colleague in front of him to humiliate him.

Mr King, who joined an east London branch of Abbey National in November 2000, claims a barrage of explicit sexual bullying by three women colleagues caused him to leave his £13,000-a-year job after three months. He is seeking £31,000 damages for sexual harassment, sexual discrimination and victimisation.

The case continues.
