Operation Yewtree Police Arrest 'BBC Star' on Suspicion of Sexual Assault

A well-known BBC television and radio personality has been arrested as part of Operation Yewtree on suspicion of sexual offences, according to reports.

Police arrested a 64-year-old man at an address in south London on 29 October as part of the inquiry which was launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex scandal.

According to the Sun, the man who was arrested is a well-known celebrity and was easily recognised by an eyewitnesss, who also saw material being removed from his home by police.

"There's no doubt who it was," he told the newspaper.

The BBC has refused to confirm whether one of their stars was arrested as part of the investigation and his name has not been revealed by police. A 74-year-old man who also arrested in south London on suspicion of sexual offences has also not been named.

Both men have been bailed until January pending further enquiries. A Met Police spokesperson said that both fell under the inquiry term "others", meaning that their alleged offences were not related to the Top of the Pops presenter who died in 2011.

The men were the 15th and 16th people to be arrested under Operation Yewtree. DJ Dave Lee Travis, entertainer Rolf Harris and PR consultant Max Clifford have been charged and are due to stand trial charges of sexual offences.

All three deny the allegations.

Other high-profile names to have been arrested include comedian Freddie Starr and singer Gary Glitter.

David Smith, a former BBC driver and convicted paedophile who was also arrested as part of the operation, was found dead at his London home on the first day of his trial for sexual offences.

Yes we've all heard the rumours - isn't it amazing how online has become our prime source of news (and rumours) these days? But I still wonder why... there weren't any other allegations made against Michael le Vell after the media storm (there always are about celebrities) or, if there were, why were they not added to the charges? And why haven't there been any allegations against past and recent pop and rock stars (were "groupies" a figment of our imagination? ) - and I do have the suspicion that police and CPS know that, once the elephant is out of the box - that 99% of calls are from loonies, as in the 8000 who called about the blonde Roma girl in Greece - juries will start acquitting innocent, fitted up defendants and, worryingly, many guilty ones too.

The police are deliberately mischief making when they do this - as was clear when they nabbed Chris "Who?" Denning after the Twattersphere had been busy saying it was a certain pop star. As is happening at the moment.

This could be another 'Max Clifford' moment in the eyes of some - and then again, it might not. I don't believe in bandying names about the internet anyway - and certainly not in regards to this sham operation.

the UK has become a more dangerous but incidious place than ever invisaged in 1984.

it's far worse because the great mass of people- they believe it all and it never touches them.

it's like a few are thrown to the lions to appease the masses.
They laugh at us on the Continent.

They might as well have added "Smug Joker-faced Professor Of Pop, and 'The Only Gay In Egton House' (*well, apart from the others who just got on with it) to their "anonymous" description

Another expert "witness" of MWT's Documentary? No wonder he won't name him on Twitter! MWT's time will come. Lousey hauled together programme, with hardly any checking done. To think this fella got an award for it.

After all the hints, from which many guessed his identity, it has now been confirmed.

Quote from RALiverpool

The more names like this that Yewtree seems to bring up, the less I am inclined to trust in the integrity of the police conducting the whole investigation, and their motives, rather than some of those who are being arrested. It's starting to get absurdly unbelievable how various BBC personnel are picked up, plus the usual dated politically incorrect comedians; and yet next to no former politicians/political civil servants, or hospital administrators in high places have been arrested in relation to various Operation Yewtree strands.

Now the BBC have gutlessly removed him from his radio show (First record played 1973 Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face to last record he played 2013 Lorde - Royals), despite him not yet being charged of any offence on the basis of no more than an arrest during an investigation. Clearly the BBC are now operating a guilty until proven innocent nowadays it seems, and a simple arrest is enough to trash a reputation. Funny how he's just had a lot of positive publicity over his 40th anniversary on BBC radio and all the positive publicity that brought; the start of the the tabloid phone-hacking trial(s) and now this.

To me all this suggests as the Leveson enquiry confirmed the Police, Right-Wing tabloids & the right wing Government are the Establishment and have been since Thatcher visited "Uncle" Rupert (Murdoch) on his yacht in the Caribbean back in 1980, and woe betide anyone who goes against that as MP Andrew Mitchell found out last year.

And now the Establishment can use Gambaccini to bury bad news and protect one of their own: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/104218...will-be-brought.html

I hope we will all attend this free lecture at Birmingham University Hall on Tuesday 19th November.

Mark Williams-Thomas talks about how he put together the wonderful Savile Exposure, without first checking people's ages or actually having any actual evidence into what he's going on about, or checking up on any of the loonies, he put on the programme.

I'm sure we'll all attend this fabulous talk, complete with bag of tomatoes & buckets of pigswill. Thank you.

I guarantee his days of being treated as an 'expert' are numbered.
