Given that it's a historic case and he's unlikely to run, his arrest wouldn't warrant the kicking in of doors. Police cuts for one reason, annoying as it may be.
An ex-councillor convicted of child sex abuse has been jailed for 12 years.
David Smith, of Middlesbrough, was found guilty following a trial at Teesside Crown Court last month of 11 charges of inciting or engaging in sexual activity with a child.
The offences dated back more than a decade.
Smith, 33, represented the Coulby Newham ward but resigned from the Conservative Party and council following his arrest.
In June 2019 Smith - who had been elected the month before - apologised for comments he made to the Middlesbrough FC fan page Fly Me To The Moon in which he referred to people on benefits as "rotten pond life families that should be sterilised and washed".
Two Tory MPs have also been accused of proposing a threesome to a minister’s girlfriend, which she refused.

Extraordinary levels of shittyness. Plus I wonder who - with the Sue Gray report on the way - could possibly want to leak something hugely damaging to the foreign secretary?
I don't l know if I've mentioned this before, but Iaiaian Dunkin' Smith is an utter cunt. Complete, utter, cunt.

Picking the stupidest Tory is an impossible task. Just when I thought I'd narrowed it down to being between Mad Nad, Dominic Raab, Liz Truss and Grant Shapps, up pops IDS like a long forgotten village idiot to remind he's still around and just as thick.

The anti elite revolution isn’t going well when Osborne is dissing you with his man of the people credentials.

Reminiscent of a Thick of It episode where a cleaner intrudes on a late night planning session, and the MPs tell her very bluntly to get lost because they're MPs and she's not. Malcolm Tucker defuses the situation, asks her what she thinks about the issues discussed, and bollocks the MPs for being twats.

It probably never happened but let's insinuate that it did
A Conservative MP has defended Boris Johnson and suggested it was likely NHS staff had also been "letting their hair down" during the Covid pandemic.
Richard Bacon was speaking after Sue Gray's report highlighted the extent of lockdown parties at Downing Street.
Mr Bacon, who represents South Norfolk, said the prime minister should not be "condemned".
