Danczuk’s ‘sex in office has brought town into disrepute’
MP’s rival hits out over lurid claims
SIMON Danczuk has been accused of bringing his hometown into ‘disrepute’ after allegedly having sex with a woman half his age at his taxpayerfunded constituency office.
The MP’s critics said the latest in his ‘catalogue of scandals’ was damaging the reputation of Rochdale and that he should not be allowed to ‘get away’ it.
Father-of-four Mr Danczuk, 49, is said to have spanked the unnamed blonde woman over his desk.
He reportedly exchanged thousands of flirty messages, culminating in trysts at his former marital home and his office in the town – for which he has received more than £22,000 of public money in expenses for this year.
It is yet another public embarrassment for the politician who has campaigned against child sex abuse.
He is still suspended from the Labour Party after he was caught sending lewd text messages to a 17-year-old in January. Following the latest claims, Andy Kelly, prospective parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats in Rochdale, said the average worker would be sacked for similar behaviour.
‘It’s just one thing after another with Simon Danczuk and you simply don’t know what’s coming next in this catalogue of scandals,’ he said. ‘He’s creating a media circus and it’s bringing Rochdale into disrepute. I hope this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.’
Responding to the allegations of Mr Danczuk having sex in the constituency office, Mr Kelly added: ‘He can’t get away with doing such things in a publicly-funded office. If you or I had done something like this, we would be out of a job.’
Mr Danczuk is said to have exchanged 6,000 messages with the woman, now 23, after giving her his mobile number when they met on Twitter in June, and their conversation appears to have quickly become flirty. The politician told her ‘you’ve got my imagination running wild’ after she revealed she was in her nightwear. They also discussed fetish outfits after she confessed to having a ‘big thing for latex’.

lowing Brexit, he suggested that if she had sex with him ‘you won’t even think about it’. Four days after exchanging numbers, they are said to have had sex in Mr Danczuk’s constituency office – something that could be viewed as gross misconduct by senior Government officials. The woman told Sun: ‘He had me over his desk and was spanking me. He was sex mad. I felt quite privileged to be in there with such a well-known MP. Looking back, it was so irresponsible. He shouldn’t have been using his office as a sex pad. But I just went along with it because I fancied him.’
Mr Danczuk – who previously admitted younger women are his ‘Achilles heel’ – is said to have invited her to stay at his London flat and Spanish villa before meetings at Manchester’s Lowry hotel, an Italian restaurant and a jazz club.
He also allegedly messaged the woman asking about her stockings while he was at an Armed Forces Day ceremony at Rochdale town hall.
Claims about the relationship come just eight months after a string of revelations about Mr Danczuk’s personal life, in which he was caught sexting a teenager, accused of historic rape, and labelled an alcoholic by former girlfriends.
Two months later, the Labour MP agreed to repay more than £11,000 after he was found to have claimed extra accommodation expenses for two of his children – even though they were not living with him.
Yesterday Mr Kelly added: ‘What is worse is that the Labour Party has yet to properly condemn his behaviour.
‘He’s still suspended months on and nothing seems to have happened. If he was standing today in Rochdale, he wouldn’t have a hell’s chance of winning, but he’s protected by a cabal within the Labour Party in Rochdale.’
Mr Danczuk was unavailable for comment yesterday.
