" There have been no arrests and inquiries are ongoing. "

Mr Slator, St Mary Cray ward, told The Bbc : " I have no interest in being in another out-of-context political hit piece.

" I put a lot of time and energy into lobbying The Local police and council for more resources to tackle The Armed gangs which control the drugs and pimping in Plumstead.

" Local Labour councillors, the Labour MP and mayor of London all ignored my warnings. "

Mr Bacon, Conservative MP for Orpington, said: " The Party takes these matters seriously and I believe an investigation will be undertaken. It would therefore be inappropriate for me to comment further at this stage. "

" These attitudes towards rape should not be tolerated anywhere in This Country , and especially in our politics.
