A man has been arrested over the Westminster honeytrap scandal.

The scandal dominated Westminster at the start of April as around 20 figures were targeted.

William Wragg, now a former Tory MP, admitted that he had sent the numbers of colleagues to a man who contacted him on Grindr, a gay dating app, after he had sent intimate pictures of himself.

Several MPs, members of their staff and political journalists were later sent flirtatious texts, and in several cases explicit photos, from senders with the aliases “Charlie” or “Abi”.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “On Wednesday, 26 June, police executed a warrant at an address in Islington.

“A man was arrested on suspicion of harassment and committing offences under the Online Safety Act. He was taken into custody where he remains.

“The arrest relates to an investigation being carried out by the Met’s Parliamentary Liaison and Investigation Team following reports of unsolicited messages sent to MPs and others. The investigation remains ongoing.”
