It's been ongoing since November and he was named a month or so ago.

So many high profile names caught up in this.

Not seen anything about child sex abuse...the reports I've read just say historic sexual offences/assault

Me too, that's why I hope that justice prevails.

Garry, pretty certain they said "child", as they also spoke of "....... another high profile ..blah blah..." with images of J Sommerville.
They haven't handed me the file yet, so I can't comment further at this stage.

Mike, I guess you mean Sir James Savile.
Somerville is someone else (a singer indeed) ;)

Cheers,

Nope...Julia Sommerville (News reader) took pics of her daughter, aged seven, in the bath.

She was reported by the photo processing place and was in trouble over it....but no action was taken in the end

Haven't seen this report yet but I would hope that the investigators will try to differentiate between sexual offences against children and those cases where maybe teenagers of the time were virtually laying it on a plate in order to brag to their friends about their celeb conquests.EricT

I've still not seen anything suggesting children or underage.

Nothing to do with Children. He was questioned under phase 3 of operation yewtree which is non child historical cases, same as the DLT arrest.
