Ex-Labour minister arrested on suspicion of child sex offences released on bail

Hove: So, you won’t believe what just happened. Ivor Caplin, the former Labour minister, got arrested for some pretty serious stuff. He was caught up in a sting operation by a group called Stop Stings.

They filmed him trying to meet someone he thought was a 15-year-old kid. Can you imagine? He was at the train station, and the whole thing went viral. People were glued to their screens watching it unfold.

Caplin was handcuffed right there in the street. He’s been released on bail now, but the police are still looking into it. They said he was one of two men arrested that day.

He’s been in hot water before, too. The Labour party suspended him last year over some serious allegations, which he denies. But this latest incident? It’s a whole new level of trouble.

During the confrontation, he kept insisting he hadn’t done anything wrong. But the video shows him in a red cap and a trench coat, looking pretty uncomfortable. It’s wild how quickly things can change for someone.

Now, the video has over 36,000 views, and people are talking. It’s a big deal, and it’s hard to see how he’ll bounce back from this one.
