William Wragg, the Tory MP, has admitted involvement in a Westminster honeytrap sexting scandal after he shared colleagues’ phone numbers with a man he met on a gay dating app.
Mr Wragg, the vice chairman of the 1922 committee, handed over contact details for Westminster colleagues to a man he met on Grindr, to whom he had sent intimate pictures of himself.
The MP for Hazel Grove told The Times, which approached him after speaking to victims who suspected his involvement, that he was “scared” the man “had compromising things on me”.
Those colleagues – including several MPs, members of their staff and a political journalist – were later sent texts from senders with the aliases “Charlie” or “Abi”.
At least 12 men working in and around Parliament, including a serving minister, have been targeted in the suspected spear phishing attack, amid fears a hostile state may be responsible.
On Wednesday, Politico revealed that victims had received flirtatious messages, and in several instances explicit photographs, in an attempt to lure them in.
The revelation of Mr Wragg’s involvement comes after police confirmed that an investigation into the honeytrap sexting scandal had been launched.
Leicestershire Police said it was investigating a report of “malicious communications” after “a number of unsolicited messages were sent to a Leicestershire MP last month”.
