Gascoigne sexual assualt trial begins

Gascoigne is accused of kissing a woman without her consent. This happened on a train in August 2018.

According to the alleged victim, the ex-player who is 52, asked her if she knew how to read palms to then try to get her to sit on his knees.

At one point, Gascoigne kissed her "in the middle of her mouth," according to the accuser, and she did not hesitate to go to the police.

The alleged victim said she did not know it was Gascoigne who had recently managed to change his dubious personal life that led to alcoholism after hanging up his boots in 2004.

According to the prosecutor, it's "sexual assault, brief but unpleasant, with sexual connotations."
