Deputy chief crown prosecutor Jessica Walker said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to charge Conor McGinn with one count of sexual assault following a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault in July 2022.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this charge to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegation.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.”
At the time of his suspension, McGinn told the Guardian newspaper that he had not been told details of the complaint but was “confident that it is entirely unfounded” and rejected “any suggestion of wrongdoing”.
