British retail tycoon Sir Philip Green has been charged in the US with four counts of misdemeanour assault.
The charges come after a pilates instructor in Arizona alleged that he repeatedly touched her inappropriately.
The incidents, which Sir Philip has denied, allegedly occurred at the Canyon Ranch resort in Tucson in 2016 and 2018.
Pima County Attorney’s Office said each count has a potential sentence of up to 30 days in jail.
They could also carry a fine of up to $500 (£400) and up to a year of probation, the attorney’s office said.
