The disclosure of private information about Nicola Bulley is “shocking”, according to Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt. Her comments came after reports that heartless trolls hacked into social media accounts belonging to the missing mum's partner Paul Ansell.
Hacker's gained access to the engineer's Pinterest account and posted sexually explicit photographs of women, the Mirror reports. Several images appeared on Saturday including topless models in lingerie and pictures of an actress in a bikini.
Lancashire Police was alerted to the posts by the Sunday Express and launched an investigation, confirming his account had been hacked. A spokesperson for the force said: “Paul Ansell’s Pinterest account has been accessed by a third party and is being closed down. We are investigating the matter.”
