Stokes denies charge of affray relating to nightclub fight described as ‘sustained episode of violence’
The cricketer Ben Stokes mocked two gay men, “mimicking their voices and mannerisms in a derogatory manner”, in an exchange captured on CCTV, Bristol crown court has heard.
A jury of seven men and five women was shown footage which the prosecution said depicted the Durham and England cricket star mocking the couple, Kai Barry and William O’Connor, and flicking the stub of a lit cigarette towards O’Connor’s head.
