Can you imagine what the BBC would do with this story if the accused was a member of UKIP?
As it is, it's one of their own and I guarantee it won't be on Question Time tonight.

Ex Radio One DJ charged with 41 sex offences
Chris Denning, who worked for Radio One in the 1960s, is the latest person to be charged under Operation Yewtree
Chris Denning, the former Radio One DJ, who was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, is to be charged with 41 sex offences against boys, prosecutors have said.
The alleged offences against 22 young boys, aged between nine and 16, are said to have taken place between 1967 and 1985.
Mr Denning, 73, was one of the original DJs on Radio One in the 1960s before becoming a music producer.
He was arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree into historic sex offences, in June last year.
Baljit Ubhey, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London, said: “We have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Denning to be charged with 41 offences, including 34 counts of indecent assault.
“ These date from between 1967 and 1985, and relate to 22 male complainants aged between nine and 16 at the time of the alleged offending.”
He added: “The decision to prosecute has been taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and Crown Prosecution Service legal guidance on rape and child sexual abuse. We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest.”
Prosecutors found that there was not enough evidence to prosecute in connection with three further alleged victims.
Mr Denning is now due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court
