That's clearly the case. The abuse of people who're vulnerable in some way (regardless of sex) by those who have power has been going on since civilisation began. The thing these people have in common is mindset and opportunity but some are clearly far far worse than others and we all need to remember that.
And now we have a Labour suspension:
Quote:
abour has suspended Luton North MP Kelvin Hopkins after an allegation, believed to be of sexual harassment, was received by the party.
The party has not given any details of the nature of the claims but the BBC understands it relates to an incident first reported a couple of years ago.
Mr Hopkins has had the whip withdrawn while an investigation takes place.
A party spokesman said Labour "takes all such complaints extremely seriously and has robust procedures in place".
The backbencher - who was shadow culture secretary between July and October 2016 and has been Luton North MP for 20 years - could not be reached for comment.
Labour sources say a complaint of sexual harassment was made against Mr Hopkins a couple of years ago.
