Never mind rape accusations – this Tory has been CONVICTED of distributing indecent child images
This is more topical now a Tory MP has been accused of sex offences.
Note that Mark Lerigo’s membership of the Conservative Party was suspended after he was charged with committing crimes.
We may expect the same treatment for the MP who has been arrested on suspicion of rape – if the case progresses to that stage.
A former Conservative Party campaign manager has admitted distributing indecent images of children.
Mark Lerigo, 49, of Coventry, pleaded guilty to all eight charges he faced at Warwick Crown Court.
The National Crime Agency (NCA), which investigated Lerigo, said he had 1,005 illegal images on an iPad.
These included 146 images rated as the most serious category A. The party suspended him after he was charged and he will be sentenced on 21 August.
