"Oliver Steadman, who had been a Labour councillor in Islington, north London, but resigned following his arrest in June 2024, was charged Wednesday with one count of bl@ckm@il and five counts of improper use of a public electronic communications network.
The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in April 2024 after POLITICO revealed that several men in Westminster, including MPs, had received unsolicited WhatsApp messages from users calling themselves alternatively “Abi” or “Charlie.”"
The messages allegedly included explicit images.
