The Metropolitan police revealed the names of alleged victims of the Westminster “honeytrap” scandal in an accidentally sent email, it has emerged.
A police officer emailed some alleged victims updating them on the case, which is due to be heard in court, but inadvertently revealed their names and contact details to each other.
The police are investigating a case of someone who posed as a person called Charlie or Abi who tried to get information out of about 20 people, including MPs, parliamentary staff and political journalists.
So they’re handing out free sex in order to gain information from important people.
You’re not offered any free sex.
You are not important.
It’s a corollary with fame. The famous get groupies. You’ve not got groupies? You’re not famous – QED.
Is that actually a crime? If it’s nuclear launch codes then it probably comes under espionage, but someone tells you about how the sales at company XYZ are going well, or something internal about the party.
I’ve heard people tell me all sorts of things after a dinner and a decent amount of claret that they shouldn’t have.
We all know someone who is getting loads of sex and apparently being paid a lot of money for it. It’s just that it’s a secret for now. Perhaps he’s got so many mates in the legal system everyone’s worried about naming him. Possibly. Allegedly. Come on Chernyy Drakon, help me out here…
Another example of the sort of people they are recruiting for the police these days, someone unaware of the ‘blind carbon copy’ function on email…
@Julia The last place I worked at, ICT had installed a neat little script that simply refused to send anything that had something in the “CC” line.
You either manually(!) added multiple entries in the address line, or BCC’ed.
Manglement and Chairwarmers hated it, of course, but were given a firm “F*ck Off” by the local BOFH.
Quite refreshing, that…
Was this a heterosexual honey trap, and if so, how did they manage to find 20 of them in Westminster?
Its not really about low level information its about having compromising people who might one day become cabinet ministers, senior civil servants or the like.

It amazes me there isn’t a trannie yet. Although, come to think of it, I do have my doubts about Rachel from customer relations. And the one with the pink barnet & the loose arrangement with honesty looks pretty suss.
In my recent experience of men pretending to be women (Amy behind the till in WH Smith’s at Temple Meads station; Abigail in Newbury Marks and Spencer’s) the defining feature has been a prominent beard.
So, whatever other duplicitous activities Rachel from Customer Relations and Louise from Fraud might be involved in, I don’t think this is one of them.
BiS – only a matter of time before the Mata Carrie seduces our world class Members of Parliament.
‘You’re not offered any free sex. You are not important.’
So that’s why!!!!
Sounds a lot like being married, to be honest.
Countertenors (the men who sing falsetto in the choir) often have a beard to prove they can grow one.

There was that Tory MP down in Wales who liked dressing up in woman’s clothing, and called himself trans:

Doesn’t look like he’d make a convincing woman I have to say…….
