One of Britain’s leading economists is at the centre of a police investigation into claims he assaulted a prostitute after the pair smoked crack cocaine together. Professor Douglas McWilliams, a key figure who has advised Boris Johnson on housing policy, allegedly injured Beverley Shearon at her flat in St Albans, Hertfordshire. She claims the married academic was a regular visitor and took drugs with her on New Year’s Eve before he “flipped out” when a neighbour arrived unannounced.
Professor McWilliams, executive chairman of influential City think-tank the Centre for Economic and Business Research, left the home but was later questioned by police. Ms Shearon, 47, says she was left with facial bruising, a black eye and a hand injury. She told the Sun on Sunday: “He turned up at about 4pm and wanted a smoke. I was weak and let him.” The self-confessed call girl claims she then performed a sex act on the Oxford-educated economist - who she called ‘Posh Rob’. But when a neighbour knocked on the door to wish her Happy New Year, Ms Shearon alleges Professor McWilliams attacked her in a rage. She added: “I don’t know why he comes here and why he leads the life he leads considering his job.”
