After speaking out against contentious social media influencer Andrew Tate, an MP claimed she received "bombardments" of death and rape threats.
The Pontypridd Labour MP, Alex Davies-Jones, stated that she received the abuse to both her "inbox and my office.".
An investigation into rape and human trafficking led to the detention of the British-American online influencer in Romania. He amassed millions of followers thanks to his polarizing content.
The accusations are refuted by him.
Ms. Davies-Jones expressed gratitude for the support of her local police force during a Commons debate on neighborhood policing.
"I'd like to officially thank you," she said. After I spoke out about the heinous abuse and behavior of Andrew Tate online, the local police in my south Wales area have been a tremendous support to me in recent weeks.
"As a result, threats of rape and death have deluged my office and my personal inbox. ".
However, the MP added, "sadly, this isn't the case for everyone who experiences the same." The MP called the police response "brilliant.".
In an appearance on Prime Minister's Questions earlier this month, Ms. Davies-Jones expressed concern about the influencer's effect on young men in the classroom.
Teachers are now required to create their own resources to re-educate boys who are being brainwashed online by his deeply toxic messaging, she said. ".
The former kickboxing world champion, who was detained in Romania, will remain in custody until late February after a judge granted a request to extend his detention for a second time by 30 days.
