Brooks Newmark aged 56.

This silly middle aged MP has lost his job, his reputation, the respect of his five children and perhaps his marriage? What possessed him to send a picture of his 'old man' draped in his Paisley PJ's via the internet to someone he didn't know but had fantasies about? That brief frisson has cost him dearly, but men do stupid things when they reach a certain age in life. I know from my professional life of some 40 years working in the NHS and in privates practice that some of theses chaps (its nearly always men) who occupy very distinguished positions in society and all of a sudden their deeply held secret it outed. He was bated by a women referred to as Sophie using a pseudo twitter account. The sexually explicit picture got its quarry Newmark in one. How sad and how normal. A balding man who thinks this his last opportunity to have sex with someone that is young, blond and very attractive makes an easy prey. He has done well in life and is on the first lung of the 'slippery political ladder'. He got degree from a prestigious university in the US - done the right things - but in a moment of madness losses the plot. Despite a feelings of schadenfreude there is also sympathy for a gullible and naivete middle aged man in the twilight of his life.
