An award-winning producer, 39, who is battling cancer has been spared jail time for a sexual assault conviction. The producer, whose name is being withheld for legal reasons, faced charges for assaulting a woman in 2017. Despite acknowledging the seriousness of the offense, the judge decided to refrain from imposing a prison sentence due to the producer’s health condition. The decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that health issues should not exempt individuals from facing legal consequences for their actions.

Chris Croucher, an award-winning Downton Abbey producer with terminal cancer, has avoided jail after sexually assaulting a woman at a Christmas party in 2019. Croucher, under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, made repeated advances towards the woman, even requesting a 'foursome'. He exposed himself and performed a sex act behind her after she refused his advances. Croucher was spared jail but received a community order, a three-month curfew, and was required to sign the Sex Offenders Register. The court heard that Croucher has terminal cancer and he has lost his job and relies on benefits.
