An Epsom man accused of running a brothel has denied the charge.

Borys Bobinski, 36, of Station Approach, Epsom, was charged with controlling prostitution for gain following allegations that premises on the High Street were being used as a brothel.

He entered his plea at Guildford Crown Court yesterday (August 14).

Police had arrested a man after being called to Epsom High Street on Monday, July 12, having received reports of furniture being thrown from the third floor of a flat.

While police officers were at the scene, an allegation was made that the flat was being used as a brothel.

A woman was taken to hospital to be treated for a cut to her arm following the disturbance.

Bobinski was charged at Staines Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, July 12.

His trial date is set for February 26 next year.
