Theresa May's Deputy Denies Computer Porn Allegations as 'Political Smears'

In the wake of recent sexual misconduct allegations and the recent resignation of the UK Defense Secretary, the Westminster witch hunt for alleged offenders is widening.

Police officers found "extreme" porn materials on the parliamentary computer of Damian Green, UK First Secretary of State, during searches in his office amid an investigation into government leaks in 2008, the Sunday Times reported, citing former Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick.

Green immediately refuted the claims, saying that they are "false, disreputable political smears from a discredited police officer acting in flagrant breach of his duty to keep the details of police investigations confidential." May's deputy also added that he considers such accusations to be part of a "unscrupulous character assassination."

Damian Green is due to give evidence to a Whitehall probe launched into his behavior after Green was accused of making sexual advances towards journalist Kate Maltby. UK First Secretary of State allegedly touched her knee when they met in in a pub in 2015 and a year later sent her a "suggestive" message after photos of Maltby wearing a corset appeared in a newspaper.
