Sunday 3 July 2022 10:36 PM Chris Pincher could face police quiz over claims he 'touched up' activist trends now
A young Tory activist who accuses Chris Pincher of groping him is planning to make a statement to police, the Daily Mail has learned.
The new alleged victim, whose accusation adds to the six fresh claims made against the Tamworth MP over the weekend, has told friends that he was ‘touched up’ by Mr Pincher in a car last year.
The man – a constituency member who was trying to get a job in politics at the time – is said to have been so angered by the number of alleged victims that he plans to ‘do something about it’ and go to the police, friends revealed.
It comes as a second alleged victim from the constituency, also not previously known about, is said to have made claims against the former deputy chief whip.
The Prime Minister eventually bowed to pressure to remove the whip from his ally after an investigation was launched, meaning Mr Pincher sits as an independent MP
Yesterday, members of Mr Pincher’s Conservative association and voters in Staffordshire called for the MP to stand down.
Mr Pincher, 52, quit as Tory deputy chief whip last week after he was accused of drunkenly groping two men at a private members’ club in London.
The Prime Minister eventually bowed to pressure to remove the whip from his ally after an investigation was launched, meaning Mr Pincher sits as an independent MP.
After several accusations from other alleged victims over the weekend, the Mail has learned that there are further claims from activists in his constituency.
As well as the man who claims he was groped in a car by the former senior Tory, a second alleged victim is said to have been groped by Mr Pincher some time ago.
An association member said: ‘One of the [alleged victims] is planning to go to the police. He was trying to get into politics and that’s how they knew each other.
