A man has had his conviction overturned for grabbing a woman’s breasts during consensual sex.

Philip Queree, 37, met the woman on Tinder and they had sex on their second date, but she complained to police because he grabbed her breasts.

She consented to sex but later accused him of using excessive force because he gripped them too hard and pulled her hair.

The woman, who cannot be named, told the court: ‘Having my breasts grabbed, to me that is not normal behaviour.’


Queree, a medical student, was left with a career in ruins and he was put on the sex offenders’ register for five years.

But Jersey’s Royal Court has now quashed the conviction.



David Steenson, representing Queree said the indecent assault charge should not have been brought against him.

He said: ‘Her complaints to the defendant did not amount to a complete prohibition of touching her breasts. She was demanding he was more gentle with her not that he wouldn’t touch her breasts at all.

‘Right-thinking members of society wouldn’t think that touching your partner’s breasts during consensual lovemaking would be indecent. It is nothing out of the ordinary, it is implicitly accepted.’

He said that prosecutors’ said the incident had been indecent because the woman had forbidden Queree from touching her breasts.

However he added that he doubted that ‘that kind of script’ was given during a sexual encounter he described as ‘vigorous sex making.’

He added: ‘It’s really inconceivable that if the defendant had touched the complainant’s breasts extremely gently in the way she enjoyed she would have objected to it. That’s a matter of common sense.’

Bailiff Sir William Bailhache said that the court was satisfied that the ‘Magistrate went wrong in a material way’ and set aside Queree’s conviction.
