A Tory councillor who sparked a furious backlash after suggesting an alleged rape victim was 'likely' to have been working as a prostitute now faces disciplinary action from the Conservative party
Shaun Slator is the Conservative councillor for St. Mary Cray in Bromley, south east London.A Tory councillor who sparked a furious backlash after suggesting an alleged rape victim was "likely" to have been working as a prostitute now faces disciplinary action from the Conservative party.
"First, prostituted and exploited women are raped and abused all the time and should be cared for, the idea that sexually exploited women and girls can't be abused is what led to grave cover up and state failure. “These attitudes have no place in society and even less so in a representative. The Conservatives shouldn't allow it in their ranks.”Jess Phillips is the Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding.Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park Sarah Olney added: "This is a disgusting comment to make.
Meanwhile, leader of the Women's Equality Party Mandu Reid called the Conservative councillor's comments "disgraceful". Despite the furious public backlash, Mr Slator does not appear to have any regrets about the tweet, claiming the area surrounding Plumstead Park has a "huge problem with prostitutes".He said: “The area has a huge problem with prostitutes which I have been reporting for years, and the local police and council don’t seem to do anything about it.
He continued: “There’s been a rape reported at 4am in Plumstead, and I think it's very unlikely to have anyone walking round on her own.”
