Conservative MP arrested on suspicion of rape
BBC Sport says an unnamed Conservative MP has been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed a man was in custody over allegations dating back to between 2002 and 2009.
The Conservative Party said he had been asked by the chief whip not to attend Parliament while an investigation is ongoing.
The man also faces allegations of an abuse of position of trust and misconduct in a public office.
A Met Police spokesman would not confirm the identity of the man or if he was an MP, but published a statement, saying: “In January 2020, the Met received a report relating to alleged sexual offences having been committed between 2002 and 2009.
“The offences are alleged to have occurred in London.”
