An MP has accused police of giving the "green light" to internet trolls after a complaint saw her subjected to a social services investigation.
She ignored them as she gets "a lot of emails like that, lots of MPs do and you think people are entitled to their opinion". It said the content of the messages had "understandably caused upset and distress" to the MP and officers had spoken to the sender who admitted he was responsible and apologised.
Ms Creasy added she was "passionate about safeguarding" and "we can't have the system corrupted in this way".The MP also voiced concerns that instances like this were "damaging the whole of public life". A spokesman said: "Leicestershire Police takes any report of harassment extremely seriously and will carry out a full investigation into the report and take the appropriate action.
