Carl Benjamin, who'd said he 'wouldn't even rape' Jess Phillips, then said in a video that 'with enough pressure I might cave'.
A police investigation has been launched into whether a UKIP election candidate broke the law by suggesting he"might" rape a Labour MP.
Carl Benjamin, who had previously said he"wouldn't even rape" Jess Phillips, posted an online video suggesting that"with enough pressure I might cave". After announcing a list of spoof UKIP policies, including invading Spain and restoring the British Empire, Benjamin said in a video posted on his YouTube channel:"There's been an awful lot of talk about whether I would or wouldn't rape Jess Phillips."I've been in a lot of trouble for my hardline stance of not even raping her. I suppose with enough pressure I might cave. But let's be honest, nobody's got that much beer.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said:"Police have received a report of malicious communications relating to MP Jess Phillips."Officers have spoken to Ms Phillips and the comments are being investigated to establish if an offence has taken place." Ms Phillips, who represents Birmingham Yardley, told the BBC that she"cried in the street" when she found out about the comments.
