Former Labour MP and Veterans Affairs Minister Ivor Caplin Arrested in Brighton for Allegedly Attempting to Groom 15-Year-Old Boy
Jan 11, 2025, 05:03 PM
Ivor Caplin, a former Labour MP for Hove and Minister for Veterans, has been arrested in Brighton after allegedly attempting to meet a 15-year-old boy for sexual abuse. The apprehension was conducted by a citizen-led group known as Stop Stings, which specializes in intercepting individuals suspected of child grooming. Caplin, who served in Parliament from 1997 to 2005, reportedly engaged in online communications of a sexual nature with the minor. This incident has raised questions about the Labour Party's stance on child safety issues, particularly in light of ongoing discussions regarding national inquiries into related matters.
