A former BBC host has been interviewed by the Metropolitan Police following an allegation of sexual assault dating back 20 years. The man, who has not been named, was questioned under caution on May 14 and has not been arrested.
The allegation relates to unwanted sexual touching that is said to have occurred on the London set of his show between September 2005 and December 2006. A source told the Sun that the star “completely and utterly refutes” the claims.
The alleged victim, who now lives outside London, reported the matter to police, and the case was referred to the Met from another force. The Met confirmed it is investigating a report of sexual assault against a woman in Stratford during that period.
The BBC declined to comment, stating that the man worked for an independent production company at the time of the alleged assault. The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made.
