"Philip Green, the British retail billionaire, has been charged with misdemeanour assault in Arizona after a pilates instructor claimed he had groped her at a health resort.

Sir Philip was charged on Wednesday with four counts and has been summoned to make an initial appearance in court in June, according to Arizona state records.

The charges accused Sir Philip of “knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult, or provoke,” said Lauren Deakin at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, which brought the case.

A copy of the complaint was not immediately available. Ms Deakin confirmed the case stemmed from claims made by Katie Surridge, an instructor at the Canyon Ranch resort in Tucson, Arizona, earlier this year.

Sir Philip, who has a house in Arizona, declined to comment on Friday. He has previously denied the claims.

On each of the four counts, the Topshop tycoon faces up to 30 days in county jail, a fine of up to $500 and up to one year of probation, according to Ms Deakin."
