Tory councillor arrested for loo sex act

London, July 24 : North London Police have arrested a Tory councillor after he was allegedly caught in a sex act with a man in a loo.

Robert Benson, 41, was charged with engaging in sexual activity in a public toilet in South Harrow, North London.

A 56-year-old man from Essex who was with him was given a caution, The Sun reported.

In the wake of the incident and his arrest, Benson, who sits on Harrow and Weald Council, has been suspended from the Conservative Party.

Benson can still sit on the council as an independent and could win back party membership if he is acquitted.

He is due to appear before Wimbledon magistrates next Wednesday.
