Tory Party covered up for 'serial rapist' MP: Devastating letter to police from ... trends now
A Tory Party chairman exposed an alleged cover-up of serial 'rapes' committed by an MP by reporting his Government colleagues to detectives, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Jake Berry sent a bombshell letter to police in which he revealed that a number of allegations about the MP had been made known to the party – but only limited action had been taken.
Mr Berry uncovered the scandal when he discovered the party had paid for one of the alleged victims to receive treatment at a private hospital.
Neither the alleged perpetrator nor the women said to be involved can be identified for legal reasons and the MP is referred to here as X.
Devastatingly, Mr Berry, who wrote the letter jointly with former Chief Whip Wendy Morton, another MP and a Downing Street official, claimed that the failure of the Tory Party to act had allowed the MP to continue offending after the alarm had been raised.

He wrote in his letter to police that as the party's inquiries continued, it was 'ascertained there may be five victims of X who have been subject to a range of offences including multiple rapes'.
He wrote: 'We are aware that this matter has been ongoing for over two years. We also believe there are up to five victims of X and that the failure of others to act has enabled X to continue to offend and to victimise women.'
Mr Berry, who wrote the letter shortly after he left the chairman's job last year when Liz Truss's Government collapsed, concluded: 'This is not something we are prepared to see continue and collectively we have therefore raised the issue with both you and the Speaker's Office in the House of Commons seeking an immediate police investigation.'
The letter, obtained exclusively by The Mail on Sunday, will throw a harsh spotlight on the way the Conservative Party handles allegations of serious sexual assault.
The episode is alluded to in an explosive book by former Cabinet Minister Nadine Dorries, which is being serialised in the MoS and the Daily Mail.
Other astonishing disclosures from today's extracts include a number of sexual revelations, which Ms Dorries says are frequently used by political enemies as part of blackmail campaigns.
Among her findings are that:
An MP had sex with a prostitute on a billiard table watched by four other cheering MPs; Another MP stored a laptop containing indecent images of children on behalf of a relative; The Tory Whips' office is claimed to be in possession of a video of a Minister engaged in an adulterous sexual act; The security camera which caught former Health Secretary Matt Hancock kissing an aide had allegedly been tampered with by his political enemies in order to catch him in the act; Colleagues described Boris Johnson's former chief of staff Dominic Cummings as a 'narcissist' and a 'psychopath' who offered to deliver Mr Johnson's victory speech in place of him after the 2019 Election win. Mr Cummings told The Mail on Sunday – with presumed sarcasm – that the claims about him were 'all true... you cannot negotiate, you can only surrender to the Movement'; Michael Gove reputedly 'pleaded' with David Cameron to be allowed to keep Mr Cummings as his adviser when he was Education Secretary, to which a source close to Mr Gove responded last night: 'Nadine is a very talented bestselling fiction writer'; Sonia Khan, a former adviser to then Chancellor Sajid Javid, was forced to call Scotland Yard 'a number of times' after she was 'stalked' and 'filmed' after launching legal action against the Treasury over her sacking, sources claimed.
Writing in The Plot: The Political Assassination Of Boris Johnson, Ms Dorries recounts how a Conservative MP told her how a woman had reported to party chiefs that she had been raped by an MP 'and no action was taken by the party'
