Nick Dawe, 64, is accused of contacting women who had been rehomed after escaping war-torn Ukraine and lived in his local council.

He is said to be under investigation for his alleged behavior with ladies who moved to Essex. According to reports, the chief operations officer of the Epping District Council has already been publicly praised for his actions in assisting refugees and providing humanitarian aid.

According to insiders, he has been accused of sending a series of improper texts to women who have been rehomed in the region, including invites to stay at his second home in Liverpool. He is accused of sending texts complimenting a Ukrainian woman's 'beautiful eyes' and regularly sending indecent messages.


According to a Ukrainian woman, he had invited her and her mother to Liverpool, where he has property.

Allegations are that he had emailed her a photo of a garden near his Liverpool property.
