MP for Reigate makes statement after Surrey police said man in his 60s was arrested and later released on bail

A senior Conservative MP, Crispin Blunt, has been arrested on suspicion of rape and possession of drugs.

Blunt made a statement after Surrey police said a man in his 60s had been arrested on Wednesday and later released on bail.

The MP for Reigate, a former justice minister and ex-chair of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, said he was confident the investigation would end without charge.

He said he had previously reported an allegation of extortion to police in relation to the same incident, and had spoken to officers several weeks ago.

    Don’t you dare accuse the United States of having a more perverted elite than England. We don’t even have a House of Lords, much less a royal family.

      I didn’t know it was that bad over there. TBF, we did have a president that bragged about sexual assault and was still elected, was convicted as a rapist, was accused of peeing on prostitutes and it was decided in court he was sleeping with prostitutes while his wife was pregnant. We had the child rapist in the southern states and we also have that whole lady bug thing. 🤮 Matt Gaetz and trafficking an underage girl. A whole plane of our elites flying to a private island to have sex with underage girls, but I guess they had a prince that did that too. I don’t know, this is a competition that I want to lose, lol.
