Ex-Tory MP William Wragg Expresses Deep Regret Over Westminster Catfishing Scandal

Wragg shared sensitive information under pressure from a scammer posing as a Grindr user, leading to his resignation.

William Wragg, a former Conservative MP, was deceived into sharing explicit images and colleagues' phone numbers by a fake Grindr account.
He felt coerced to provide sensitive information to avoid the release of his intimate photos.
Wragg resigned from his parliamentary posts after the scandal broke, having already announced he would not seek re-election.
The incident triggered severe stress and panic attacks for Wragg, who later sought medical attention.
A Labour Party member was arrested in connection with the scam but has been released on bail.
