--------------------------------------------- JULY 25, 2000 --------------------------------------------- Source: Washington Post Yes Star Accused of Assault Compiled from staff and wire reports by Beth Berselli British supergroup Yes performed at Nissan Pavilion on Sunday night, and apparently the group's 35-year-old keyboardist was not on his best behavior. Prince William County police say Igor Khoroshev sexually assaulted two female security guards working backstage at the concert, reports The Post's Josh White. A 26-year-old woman who was not identified told police that Khoroshev sat on her lap during a break and tried to put his tongue in her mouth. When she tried to repel his repeated advances, the musician sank his teeth into her neck, leaving a nasty red mark, she said. Then after the show, Khoroshev allegedly tried again with an unnamed 22-year-old security guard. Police said Khoroshev walked up to this woman, made a few lewd comments and squeezed her buttocks. Khoroshev has been charged with assault and battery and sexual battery, both misdemeanors. If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison and $5,000 in fines. Yes continues its U.S. tour, playing tonight in Virginia Beach. Close Window YesInThePress.com For site comments, problems, corrections, or additions, contact YesinthePress@aol.com
