Tory MP arrested...

[TooBigForMyBoots]

...on suspicion of rape and possession of a controlled substance. This disgusting party needs to go.

I know I've said this on the other thread, but I think it's worth saying again anyway that this is also a different Tory MP to the one currently on police bail after being arrested for rape, sexual assault and indecent assault.

And Peter Bone who parliament has found exposed himself to an aide is different again.

And there are another two currently in prison.

Crispin Blunt has admitted it's him who has been arrested.

Crispin Blunt who defended a colleague found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15 year old.

Crispin! Wow

He's had the Whip removed.

Wait, what? So there are three Tory MPs currently under investigation for sexual assault?

I can't keep up.

No wonder Boris Johnson was so blasé about Pincher's alleged sexual misconduct.

Although for the sake of fairness, I remind myself that being investigated and being guilty are two very different things.

So I shouldn't prejudge.

They've been arrested. Doesn't mean they are guilty.
Innocent until proven otherwise.

Ah, so the investigation into Peter Bone is completed and concluded that he did indecently expose himself. Bone has appealed and lost, so the conclusion stands.

There we go, I've caught up on one.

Now just the other two to wait for.

Not necessarily. Rape has been practically decriminalised in the UK. So while I'm pretty sure he'll get off, I know we have plenty of rapists on our streets who haven't been found Guilty.

Is one of them the MP whose divorce judge said he'd raped his wife?

Conservative MP Andrew Griffiths is the man you're thinking of.

What is it with sex scandals and the Tories?

Is one of them the MP whose divorce judge said he'd raped his wife?

I'm not sure. The other one hasn't been named but since he hasn't been in the commons since the arrest last year (so no representation for those constituents) I believe it's fairly easy to find out who it is. He's been re-selected as the candidate for next year's election by his local party.

Andrew Rosindell, MP for Romford, has not voted in Parliament since April 2022. Here's his Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Rosindell It says:

Rosindell is currently on police bail after being arrested in May 2022 on suspicion of indecent assault and abuse of a position of trust. He denies any wrongdoing.[6] His bail has been extended multiple times, and is currently due to run until February 2024,[7] with Rosindell not attending parliament to represent Romford by "gentlemen's agreement" with the Conservative chief whip since his original arrest in May 2022.

Thanks @JennyMatrix.

Birds of a feather will flock together.
