Tory MP reveals he was targeted in ‘Westminster honeytrap’

A Conservative MP has revealed he was targeted in the suspected Westminster honeytrap.

Dr Luke Evans, the Tory MP for Bosworth, said in a Facebook video that he had been sent a photo of a naked woman out of the blue over Whatsapp.

Dr Evans said he was then sent a second message 10 days later. He passed the communications onto the police who are now investigating.
