Crispin Blunt revealed he had been arrested in a statement on Twitter Conservative MP Crispin Blunt has revealed in a statement that he has been arrested on suspicion of rape. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the MP for Reigate wrote: ‘It has been reported that an MP was arrested yesterday in connection with an allegation of rape. I am confirming that MP was me. The fact of the arrest requires a formal notification of the Speaker and then my Chief Whip.
The Tory party has declined to comment on the arrest. It is the latest in a string of arrests of sitting MPs. A police spokesman said: ‘We can confirm a man was arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances. ‘He has been released on conditional police bail pending further inquiries.’ The arrest is the latest in a series of sleaze scandals which have engulfed the Tory party in recent months.
