MP accused of rape: Rishi Sunak urges victims of Tory MP who has allegedly committed ‘multiple rapes’ to ‘go to police’

The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has described allegations that a Tory MP committed a series of rapes as “very serious” and and urged anyone with evidence to contact police. It comes after a former Tory Party chairman exposed an alleged cover-up of “multiple rapes” committed by an MP, which were made known to the party but only limited action was taken.

The Mail on Sunday revealed that Jake Berry sent a letter to the police alongside former Chief Whip Wendy Morton, another MP and a Downing Street official, claiming that the MP has been allowed to continue offending as the Tory Party had failed to act. Berry wrote in his letter to police that there “may be five victims of X who have been subject to a range of offences including multiple rapes” and “we are aware that this matter has been ongoing for over two years.” Neither the alleged perpetrator nor the women said to be involved can be identified for legal reasons.
