The UK's small business minister and former chief of staff, Premier Therese May, Andrew Griffiths, resigned after his SMS-related sexual communication fell into the media. This is reported by the publication Sunday Mirror, which published some of the official's reports.

In total, the publication had about two thousand Griffiths messages, which he sent to two women.

It is noted that in the SMS, the minister demanded frank photographs and videos, and also offered them to rent an apartment to have sex with him.

After the reports of the official became public, Griffiths said that he was very ashamed of what he had done. "I am very ashamed of my behavior, which caused the unheard of sufferings of my wife and family, to which I owe everything, and deeply embarrassed the Prime Minister and the government, which was an honor for me," the statement said..

Griffiths also noted that he will seek professional help to "this never happened again".
