Brighton: So, here’s the scoop. Ivor Caplin, the ex-MP from Hove, has been released on bail after getting arrested. The police took him in for allegedly having inappropriate online chats with a child.
He spent the night in custody while Sussex Police kicked off their investigation. Caplin, who’s 66, is set to check in with the police again on April 10.
This all went down after a sting operation by some paedophile hunters. They even streamed the whole thing live on Facebook, which got a ton of views and comments.
Sussex Police confirmed they’re looking into the situation and are aware of the footage making the rounds on social media. They said a local man was arrested, and it’s still an active case.
Caplin, who used to be a defence minister, is reportedly denying any wrongdoing. It’s a pretty serious situation, and everyone’s watching closely.
