Qld councillor defends sex claims

A Queensland councillor admits he has pornographic images and personal sex acts on his work devices but says he's guilty of nothing more than being "red-blooded".

Redland City Councillor Craig Ogilvie says he feels an element of being made to feel shame after allegations against him were made public, but denies he covertly took photos of young women at the beach.

"I think I'm guilty, if anything, of being red-blooded," he told ABC Radio on Monday.

"I definitely feel a bit of an element of slut shame."

Mr Ogilvie said he wasn't guilty of any improper or illegal behaviour and he thought the information that had been aired was private.

He said allegations he took pictures of young women at the beach without their knowledge had already been dismissed by police.

Mr Ogilvie also said he paid for personal use of his work-supplied devices and it was time to move on from being "prudish".

The Department of Local Government began investigating Mr Ogilvie after he admitted last year to signing up with notorious cheater website Ashley Madison using his council email account.

Local Government Minister Jackie Trad has said voters will decide if Mr Ogilvie keeps his job at the March 19 election.

"Ultimately, it is up to the people of Redlands to make their decision about their local representative," she said.
