Two students in their late teens had their pictures used by a honeytrapper as bait to lure MPs into exchanging explicit photographs, it is claimed. The pair, who are now in the late 20s, had decade-old images of themselves used by a suspected scammer who targeted more than 20 members of parliament, researchers and journalists. The people behind the plot contacted potential victims on messing app WhatsApp or the gay dating app Grindr , posing as a man called 'Charlie' or a woman called 'Abi' depending on who they were talking to. The scammers would claim to have met the targets, most of whom were men in their 20s or 30s, on a previous occasion and sent explicit pictures in a bid to obtain similarly sexual photos in return. It is claimed that at least two Conservative MPs are believed to have sent explicit images of themselves to the people behind the plot.
