One staff member, Rose, not her real name, said she approached Foden in his office in December 2022 about a personal issue.
“I had explained the situation to him… and then he asked a very off kilter question about sex, which kind of threw me a little bit,” she said.
“Your employer wouldn’t normally ask you about sex. It’s not a normal thing, is it?”
She said he then gave her a hug, which “moved into sexual assault”.
“Basically…. he just put his hand down my pants,” she said.
Rose said she didn’t report Foden at the time, although she did speak to police after his arrest, which led to him being charged, but the case did not make it to trial.
