'I gave them some numbers, not all of them. I told him to stop. He’s manipulated me and now I’ve hurt other people.'
William Wragg is MP for Hazel Grove in Greater Manchester A senior Conservative MP has said he is ‘mortified’ and ‘so sorry’ after admitting his involvement in a honeytrap sexting scandal. William Wragg, chair of a Commons select committee, told The Times he had given the personal phone numbers of MPs, Commons staff and a political journalist to a man he met on Grindr, a gay dating app.
Then he started asking for numbers of people. ‘I was worried because he had stuff on me. He gave me a WhatsApp number, which doesn’t work now. ‘I’ve hurt people by being weak. I was scared. I’m mortified. I’m so sorry that my weakness has caused other people hurt.’ The victims of the spearfishing scheme received late-night messages from an unknown number, saying they had met years ago in a parliamentary bar.
