PR consultant Max Clifford has been arrested by detectives investigating claims of sexual abuse against late TV and radio presenter Jimmy Savile, it has been reported.
The 69-year-old, from Surrey, is said to have been arrested this morning at his Surrey home on suspicion of sexual offences by police on Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree, which is investigating claims of sexual abuse involving Savile and others.
The Metropolitan police would only confirm a man in his 60s had been arrested in Surrey and was being questioned in a central London police station.
The arrest is also not directly linked to any claims involving Savile, who died in October 2011 aged 84.
‘Officers working on Operation Yewtree have this morning arrested a man in his 60s in connection with the investigation,’ a statement said.
‘The man from Surrey was arrested at 7:40am on suspicion of sexual offences and has been taken into a central London police station.
‘The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed “others”. We are not prepared to discuss further.’
Scotland Yard is leading the national probe into claims made against disgraced TV presenter and radio DJ Savile.
Before today, four people had been arrested and five questioned in connection with Yewtree’s investigations.
Last week a man in his 80s from Berkshire was interviewed by detectives as part of the investigation not directly relating to Savile himself.
Gary Glitter, comedian Freddie Starr, DJ Dave Lee Travis and a man in his 70s understood to be former TV producer Wilfred De’Ath have all already been arrested and bailed.
