Former Justice Minister Crispin Blunt will be facing four drug charges, one of the accusations against the 65-year-old dating back to October 2023. This was after prosecutors claimed that they have enough evidence to pursue criminal proceedings.
To recall, it was in 2023 when Blunt was arrested on suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances by Surrey Police. The alleged rape charges were dropped in May 2025 after investigators had insufficient evidence to proceed with the inquiry, The Guardian reported.
