Natalie Fleet MP who was raped says parents need to talk about consent

An MP who revealed that she became pregnant at 15 after being groomed and raped by an older man says parents must talk to their children about sexual consent.

Natalie Fleet told Newsnight’s Victoria Derbyshire that she tells her sons and their friends to not have sex unless both partners are sober, and says she would encourage women who have been raped to report it but understands the fear of not being believed.
