Sell the story, if so to who?

I'm unsure about this but I'm on dating sites and as we all know it's full of parasites.

I was speaking to an elected councillor who I thought was decent, he sent me nudes, vulgar text etc. He swiftly deleted it but it's really wrong, I have screenshot etc. He was disgusting.

I'm not on about selling per se for money but we shouldn't have creeps like this representing us.

He knew it was wrong as he deleted them in 30 mins but that's fine is it, poor guy.

Sorry.. why do you want to do this exactly? A grown man sends nudes to a grown woman and consequently you want to publicly shame him and for him to loose his career? Under the guise that he ‘shouldn’t be representing us’. Think there’s more to this tale than meets the eye here. Careful you don’t get done for slander and libel.

I saud nothing rude to him, you think him sending me unsolicited nude photos and extremely vulgar chat is okay?

Sorry if this has been mentioned but isn’t it an offence to send unsolicited nude pictures? I don’t know, just thought it was.

Flaskfan · 18/03/2025 20:52

Based on what happened with one of our local councillors, he'll plead mental health, get 3 months suspension then get right back to it, because 'he's a good bloke really' and 'I've known him years.'

If you genuinely wanted to take action, not for profit, I can't understand why you didn't contact the Council and his political party. That's surely the first thing to do and they can take action against him.

And that’s why they get away with this shit ffs. She’s doing us all a favour by exposing this kind of behaviour. Women need a back bone not a blind eye!

Just go to metro online..they have a link at the bottom of their articles saying..have you got a story to tell? Just send info and ask do they want the photos.

BobbyBiscuits · 18/03/2025 20:47

You should ask the papers what they'll give you, without giving off the whole story. I know The Sun used to pay £750-1000 for something really boring for a slow news day.

Did you manage to keep the pictures and messages? If not it'll be your word against his and given that you contacted him, it might not end well.

Yes I screenshotted everything before he deleted.

You really want to make a profit on this??

She said not for money but to expose him.

I'd take money sure but I'd donate it.

It shouldn't be allowed, it's just wrong on so many levels.

If you're serious about getting this dealt with, you contact the leader of whichever council it is, and complain to them, and also make a complaint to the police at the same time.

Report him to his party leader on whatever council he is on. And to the monitoring officer (solicitor) at the council.

Some councillors do use their personal mobile numbers.

Letmecallyouback · 18/03/2025 20:42

Most people just block them. Not Google then find their mobile and message them.

You say you don't want the money yeah right if you say so, and yet your thread title states "who can I sell my story to?"

AdoraBell · 18/03/2025 20:44

I would try the local paper but not ask for payment.

I normally would but he's an elected person in power which made me mad.

Phonicshaskilledmeoff · 18/03/2025 20:44

Could you maybe just report him to his party, other councillors and police?

I don't want money, I probably worded the title wrong, sorry.

I just think it's shitty.

One of our councillors was done for this. He was banned for four months, but I thought he should have been banned for ever.

Ritzybitzy · 18/03/2025 20:43

It’s a criminal offence. Go to the police.

Letmecallyouback · 18/03/2025 20:42

cupsandcupsoftea · 18/03/2025 20:35

Yes, if it's okay for you for a guy to be awful then that's okay and disgustingly rude then send unsolicited nudes fine. Not by me.

Most people just block them. Not Google then find their mobile and message them.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 18/03/2025 20:42

Yes, I thought someone was using his pics and wanted to tell him.
You're back peddling now. 😅
