Senior Conservative MP William Large admitted giving other MPs’ personal phone numbers to people he met on dating apps, The Times reported.
The MP for Hazel Grove told the newspaper: “They compromised on me. They wouldn’t leave me alone.
“They would look for people. I gave them some numbers, not all of them. I told him to stop. He manipulated me and now I’m hurting other people.
“I was chatting with a guy on an app and we exchanged photos. We were going to meet up for a drink but then didn’t.
“Then he started asking about the number of people. I was worried because he had something on him. He gave me a WhatsApp number but that doesn’t work now. My weakness hurts people.”
“I’m scared. I’m ashamed. I’m sorry that my vulnerability caused harm to others.”
A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: “Last month a number of unsolicited messages were received by a Leicestershire councilor and Leicestershire Police are investigating a report of malicious communications.
“They reported the incident to police on Tuesday, March 19. Investigations are ongoing.”
