A TORY parliamentary candidate and former BBC Radio Norfolk presenter who had said that women should “keep their knickers on” to avoid being raped has announced that he is standing down.
Nick Conrad was selected to stand for Broadland in Norfolk despite the comments, made in 2014 during a radio discussion about a rape case involving footballer Ched Evans.
