The MP from Hazel Grove told the newspaper that “they had compromising things on me.” They would not leave me alone. They would make requests for individuals. Not all of the numbers were given to them. I commanded him to cease. He conned me, and I hurt other people as a consequence.
I was using an app to connect with a guy, and we were exchanging images. We had planned to get together for cocktails, but we never did.
Then he began to question how many people were there. He had things on me, which was why I was concerned. The WhatsApp number he gave me is no longer active. I have harmed people with my weakness.
I felt afraid. I feel ashamed. I sincerely apologize for any hurt that my weakness has brought to others.
This week, reports surfaced that two unidentified WhatsApp users had sent unsolicited messages to a serving minister, many MPs, party officials, and political journalists.
