Humberside police have opened an inquiry into allegations that Luke Campbell, the Reform UK mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, showed a female member of staff explicit images of himself. The complainant has told local media she was forced to leave her job shortly after the alleged incident.
Campbell, a former Olympic boxing medallist who was elected mayor for Hull and East Yorkshire, is reported to have been questioned under caution by Humberside police earlier this month. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the nature of the inquiry or any potential charges.
The allegation relates to the sharing of what has been described as "naked and sexualised" images. Police enquiries into such matters typically involve establishing the circumstances in which images were shown or sent and whether any criminal offences have been committed.
It was not immediately clear whether Campbell or Reform UK had issued a response regarding the probe. The investigation remains ongoing and Humberside police are continuing to examine the complaint and speak to relevant witnesses.
