TORY MP DROPPED OVER COCAINE AND SEX PEST CLAIMS
2 women complain... third says naked Tory groped her in bed
A TORY MP suspended over sex claims is facing allegations that he also climbed naked into a woman’s bed and groped her breasts – after snorting cocaine.
Party bosses withdrew the whip from married David Warburton while he is under investigation by Parliament’s harassment watchdog.
An image emerged showing the MP for Somerset and Frome sitting next to an upturned baking tray with four lines of powder on it – alleged by the Sunday Times to be cocaine.
Mr Warburton allegedly snorted “line after line after line” of the drug at the home of a younger woman he met through politics. She says she was drunk and wanted him to leave after the early hours episode.
As she sobered up, she claims she emerged from her bedroom to find Mr
Warburton naked.
He allegedly said he always slept in the nude and got into bed with her.
She says she had repeatedly told him she did not want to do anything sexual, but claims Mr Warburton groped her breasts and ground his body against hers.
The next morning, after a night of loud snoring, it is claimed he asked if she was “proud” that an MP had slept at her home.
And later that day, he allegedly sent a WhatsApp message asking if she was available, saying: “Promise I won’t remove all my clothes again.”
The incident was said to have happened in the early hours of Tuesday, February 1.
An audio recording allegedly captured him saying the £160 paid for two grams of cocaine was not expensive – or “spenny” – and was “quite good actually”.
The woman told the Times she did not demand he leave or push

him away because she feared how he would act. She did not complain to the police or any other authority.
But two other women allegedly reported similar conduct to Parliamentary authorities – and it is THEIR claims which led to the whip being withdrawn.
Both are said to have accused him of unwanted sexual comments and sexual touching.
The two women claim Mr Warburton had behaved inappropriately towards them in Parliament and at boozy, late-night events around Westminster – including at the British Kebab Awards.
It is claimed he told one younger aide he would have slept with her had they been the same age – and groped her thigh at the food industry bash.
In another alleged incident, he is said to have coerced the two women to his flat after pressuring them to drink more than they were comfortable with.
He later allegedly kissed one woman’s forehead, stroked her hair and rubbed her thigh.
But former music teacher Mr Warburton, who is married with two young children, denied any wrongdoing, telling the Telegraph: “I have enormous amounts of defence, but unfortunately the way that things work means that doesn’t come out first. I have heard nothing whatsoever from the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme.
“I’m sorry, I can’t comment any further.”
A spokesman for the Whips Office said: “David Warburton has had the Conservative Party whip removed while the investigation is ongoing.”
Mr Warburton will sit as an independent MP in the Commons, where he has called for international action in “tackling the drugs trade”.
