There are many other alleged gropers and kiddie-fiddlers in Parliament who have escaped prosecution because they have not attempted to undermine the Party.
Charlie was a Cameron man. He was heavily behind him and Osborne (hence his slavish support for China Gateway over Farthingloe) and was elevated to the whips office at Cameron's request. May, who presided over the 'loss' of government files on child sexual abuse in Westminster, dropped him like a hot brick when the allegations first arose. That was until, of course, she need his vote to rebuff a vote of no confidence.
