Conservative MP arrested for rape and sexual assault

Just heard this on LBC as he's been asked by the whips to stay away from Parliament.

Tory MP arrested for rape and sex assault spanning seven-year period as cops launch investigation

[Welshbeef]

Ooooo so what’s the guess?

[cirian75]

We don't have any info yet.

But my own bias has a person in mind.

[greygoose]

Will his wife get his seat if he is found guilty like in Dover?

[Welshbeef]

Sounds like this is sexual abuse and rape over a long period of time dating back to 2002.

If guilty - enjoy a long time in jail

If the wife is not the victim ?

Probably not a good idea to get into names.

“A man was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in a public office.”

I don't think names are needed. Anyone who can be bothered to Google will find out in a few keystrokes.

2021: Can this Tory government get any worse?

If it’s who I think it is then I hope he gets what he deserves, if guilty.

Can’t think of many more odious characters in the House.

[Ouroboros]

Another one, wow.

What odds on "Lessons will be learned, he's apologized, he's not been convicted yet, no need to resign?"

It would be a step up from breaking the ministerial code and breaking Covid laws.

Is there some sort of indexing we can use for current MP criminal investigations, I cant keep up there are so many current ones.

[anonymous-user]

Worthwhile to investigate this one, instead of who's been eating fking cake or curry.

[abzmike]

Seems there are over 50 members of the house currently under investigation for offences of varying severity, so almost 10%. Innocent until proven guilty, but would any other workplace or organisation put up with that without radical change in the way it is constituted?

[anonymous-user]

Not another bloody MP.

[abzmike]

Well that’s two MP’s lawyers going to be busy in the morning, for different reasons.

So you think someone's life should be ruined because someone made an allegation of something that happened twenty years ago.

Ever heard of Carl Beech? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/22/ca...

In this country you are innocent until proven guilty not just because the BBC and ttter say so.
