Crispin Blunt, a former Conservative MP, was fined £1,200 after pleading guilty to drug possession charges, including crystal meth, cannabis, and GBL. The charges stemmed from a police raid on his Surrey home following a chemsex party in September 2023. Blunt argued that his involvement in chemsex was related to his interest in drug policy reform. He also faced a separate rape allegation that was investigated but resulted in no charges. The judge noted that Blunt's actions could undermine public confidence due to his previous role in justice policy.
