A second UK lawmaker says he was targeted in a sexting scam. Police are investigating

A second British lawmaker has acknowledged receiving explicit messages on his phone in an apparent “sexting” scam. Police are investigating allegations of malicious phising attempts against politicians, their staff and journalists. Conservative legislator Luke Evans said he had been a victim of “cyber flashing and malicious communications” a month ago. Evans said in a video message Friday that he’d immediately reported the incident to police and parliamentary authorities. Another Conservative MP, William Wragg, revealed on Thursday that he disclosed some colleagues’ phone numbers to an unknown individual who contacted him on a gay dating app. Two British police forces say they are investigating reports of malicious communications.
