“A man was arrested at 7.45am on suspicion of sexual offences and has been taken into police custody.”
The man was arrested as part of the ‘Others’ strand of the Met’s investigation, the spokesman added, meaning it is unrelated to the allegations against Savile.
The DJ recently said he “categorically denied” allegations published in the national press about him following the Savile revelations.
