MP Simon Danczuk probed by police after sending 'spanking' texts to teenager

Labour MP Simon Danczuk has been sexting a 17-year-old student telling her she was "cheeky" and that he wanted to "spank" her

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/poli...-teenager.html

Not exactly the 'crime of the century' (not even a crime at all) but why oh why would someone like him with a record of trying to expose child abuse do such a thing? Surely he must have known it would come out sooner of later and seriously affect his reputation for the worse.

Just to inject some conspiracy theory into this, does anything think it's totally out of the question that some very high profile powerful people have a vested interest in seeing him brought down and they might be keen to expose any such 'errors of judgement' on his behalf? Just a thought...

... and he's now been suspended from the Labour party. I don't suppose Corbyn and his fellow loonies will be shedding many tears...

Honeypot.

Her twitter account no longer exists.

honeypot I agree, or at the very least another sad example of the 'me' culture, most of the exchanges seemed to be her leading him on judging from the screengrabs as seen here.

She'll be getting an agent soon.

Given what's happened to countless MPs, often as a result of media traps, you'd have thought they'd all be a lot more careful about what they say and to whom.

Having said that, I smell a rat here...

**Hugh** · 31-12-2015, 16:36

However, all things considered, he was very, very foolish...

Ramrod · 31-12-2015, 16:40

Even if it was a honeypot trap it takes two to tango.

Apart from him being a pervy old git, what's the problem legally?

She's overage & he's not married. (or almost divorced)

None but he isn't being judged on legality, although as I read on Reddit earlier he would be in legal problems had he solicited pictures, but morals. 17 is very young, even more so considering he is late 40s.

Oh I know I'm not disputing that, just saying as long as its legal it isn't really any of ours or the medias or Labour party (assuming it was in his own time) business.

Bet Corbys happy.

It's a serious error of judgement and it will be used against him by his enemies both inside the HOC and outside. I just hope nothing which happens, directly or indirectly, as a result of this will hamper any child abuse investigations.

I'd say it's very much in the public's interest when we have this champion of uncovering child abuse to be shown for what he is, which is a bit grubby, plus given his craving for self publicity he can hardly moan when it works both ways
