Model shocked as photo used in ‘honey trap’ sting

A Swedish model has said she is "shocked" after a newspaper used a photograph of her for a "honey trap" sting on a Tory minister.

The Sunday Mirror operation used an image of Malin Sahlen on a Twitter account purportedly belonging to a fictitious party activist called Sophie Wittam, before trying to flirt with MPs.

Civil society minister Brooks Newmark, a married father of five, resigned over the weekend after it emerged he had sent explicit pictures of himself over the social network.
