Police investigate after explicit photos sent to MPs

The Metropolitan Police are assessing reports of a parliamentary honeytrap sexting scam.

Conservative MP William Wragg has revealed he was blackmailed into sharing his colleaguesā€™ phone numbers after sharing intimate images of himself.

Mr Wragg said on Thursday he was ā€œmanipulated" into giving personal phone numbers to a man he met on a dating app.

Scotland Yard confirmed it was in contact with Leicestershire Police and Parliamentary Security amid concerns other MPs and their staff could be victims of blackmail.
