"And can offer compensation for each photo you send $ 1000 each. Especially if they are more explicit, "the contact said.

There was no evidence, if it existed beyond these exchanges, had anything to do with the Liberal party. Spokesman Parker Lund said flatly on Wednesday, of the purported Liberal support, "That is false."

The conversation between the young woman, who is in her mid-20s and politically active herself, and the purported group was on Instagram in the first week of July, in the form of direct messages; the account was so-called "dummy" or fake.

The young woman, one of two women who spoke out last week anonymously to the Toronto Star, is a recent law school graduate.

50,000 euros for the "Disclosure of Intimate and Personal Information" by Parsons Sound-Muskoka, Ont., constituents.

He immediately reported the second incident to the RCMP and handed over his cell phone forensic examination.

This revelation had the 57-year-old Tory veteran give up his seat on a new national security committee and his position in the party's shadow cabinet.

But when more information emerged – the day after the Star asked about what he said he was talking about – he posted the letter to his constituents. and which led "acts of infidelity."

He was then asked to resign from the Conservative caucus by leader Andrew Scheer. He now sits as an Independent.

But last July, it was his teacher who was allegedly targeted.

According to the screenshots the National Post has acquired, when offered the bribe, she replied, "I do not want to pay directly I want an articling job."

If u run into problems with him let us know

A source close to Clement confirms that the woman had asked for help.

The woman replied to the following: "I do not think I have much else to say …" questions, especially about her reaction to the proffered cash.

In the first direct message, the contact said "Were a group of women who have been harbaded by him. Hes cheating on his wife. If u run into problems with him let us know. "

Clement, said the source, began hearing rumors last summer from female friends on Instagram. Someone forwarded him a website that was operative for only a couple of hours – it showed only two pictures, one of him kissing the young lawyer, another of him bare chested.

At this point, the source said, Clement immediately contacted the lawyer.

She admitted, the source said, to have "shared" the pictures with colleagues, one of whom she said to have decided to create havoc for Clement.

Clement's screenshots of those contacts.

He has been calling the Ontario Provincial Police immediately. The OPP has confirmed that he did not. The lawyer has also been called Matt, but it has been named Matt, but did not reply to questions about which force she said.

In any case, with the website so quickly taken down and the contact for the group of women apparently a fake, the investigation was at a dead end.

Clement did tell Conservative Mark Strahl bad last summer on a fake website that he said was reporting fraudulent things about him.

But Clement did not tell Strahl about his own online behavior and the resultant vulnerability, so Strahl considered it just another instance of a troll harbading an MP. He told Clement how to report it, and did not take it further within the party.

The source said Clement's interactions with women and others, then "liking" one another's posted pictures, and moving to direct messages, which are private. Some WhatsApp, which has better security and encryption.

All of the relationships, said the source, were consensual, if inappropriate and risky for him, and none of the women who have come forward.
