Well they didn't vet him very well, did they!!

The way I read it these are new allegations? My guess is that somebody guilty of such crimes is hardly going to disclose them until found out, it’s not like having an internet history which reveals what you think when searched.

I’m glad he was immediately suspended.

Also alleged misconduct in public office whatever that means.

Added note - he wasn't going to stand again for Mayor in the May elections.

Bit of a shock to find Dan Norris my MP has been arrested and suspended from the Labour Party following allegations of rape and child sex offences. I thought it was dishonest to take two salaries, one as WECA Mayor and one as an MP. Constituents complained he didn’t reply to them when they wrote to him, but this is something else if true. He is an NSPCC Child Protection Officer as well.
