The deputy speaker of the House of Lords, John Sewel, has resigned from his position after photos and video appearing to show him using cocaine with two female escorts were published by The Sun, the Associated Press reports.

According to the AP, while Sewel remains a member of the House of Lords, Speaker Baronnes D’Souza said she is calling upon the police to investigate his “shocking and unacceptable” behavior.

In the video, The Sun reports, Sewel, who is married, is seen to snort cocaine off one woman’s breasts. “I just want to be led astray,” he says. Sewel paid each woman £200 pounds—one he gave cash, one he wrote a check.

As deputy speaker, Sewel was responsible for enforcing standards in the House of Lords.
