Key thing here also is that he wasn't just "accused of something", it's not cancel-culture, he was clearly charged and found guilty of the offense.

In 2012, 43 percent of mps had a criminal conviction...nowadays mps do not have to disclose if they have a criminal conviction, and under the human rights act a freedom of information request on an individual would not be accepted..
I can only assume the percentage is higher now.
