British MP suspended for sexting teenager

A British MP has been suspended by the Opposition Labour party after allegations that he sent explicit text messages to a teenager. Simon Danczuk, who represents Rochdale in north west England, allegedly exchanged explicit text messages with the 17-year-old girl.

The pair contacted each other over a period of months after the girl, now 18, contacted the 49-year-old lawmaker about a job in his constituency office.

Danczuk then sent the student a number of flirty messages. Detectives from Greater Manchester Police investigated the case to ensure that the student was not being ‘harassed’.

“On 29 December, Greater Manchester Police received a report from a member of the public that a man from the Rochdale area had been communicating inappropriately with a teenage girl. The matter was looked into and it has been determined that no offences have been committed,” a spokesperson said.
