A SENIOR Tory MP has been accused of spiking four men, including two MPs, with date rape drugs, according to reports.
According to The Mirror, the name of the alleged perpetrator is “being spoken about openly” among Tories at Westminster.
The man is accused of having used the date rape substance on a Conservative colleague – who woke up to find his nipple being licked.
It is also alleged that a Labour MP was abused after having the substance administered to him.
The third man, a flatmate of a Conservative MP, told friends he was subject to a similar incident while a fourth said he rejected the advances but suspected his drink had been spiked.
A source told the newspaper: “If he is innocent, he should refer himself to police and our internal complaints procedure so allegations can be investigated to clear his name.”
The news comes after a separate Conservative MP had been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault offences.
Last week, the policing minister dismissed questions about alleged sexual misconduct within the Conservative Party as “soap opera stuff” as the Tories faced pressure to identify and suspend the MP in question.
Asked if the Conservative administration can still call itself the Government of law and order, in light of incidents including partygate and allegations of sexual misconduct within its ranks, Malthouse said: “Oh, we certainly can.
“I mean, don’t forget, with assistance from the pandemic but because of some great policing and policy decisions, neighbourhood crime is down, violence is down.
“We’re turning the numbers on murder, we’re closing county lines on a daily basis.
“So away from the kind of soap opera stuff, we are making significant progress, and that’s alongside the 13,500 cops that we’ve recruited.
“So I do believe that we can say that, and we’re certainly making progress.”
Aides later said Malthouse’s “soap opera” comment was referring to partygate and that the minister was absolutely unequivocal that any allegation of sexual misconduct or assault is no laughing matter, must be fully investigated and he would never suggest it was trivial.
