HISTORICAL FACTS: Tory councillor suspended in connection with rape joke messages on whatsapp | History Defined

A Tory councillor has been suspended from the party after he made alleged 'rape jokes' in a group chat.

Daniel Gibbin, chair of Solihull Council's children's services board, had allegedly penned a message saying "Tag rape is great fun", according to a report from Birmingham Live.

Screenshots also show a participant in the group with phone number matching his suggesting that a woman had to say no "at least 10 times", and "up to that is okay".
