Rolf Harris has been named by UK newspaperThe Sun as the Australian entertainer arrested in the UK last month on suspicion of sex offences.
The veteran showman, who was arrested on March 28 and interviewed under caution by London police, was later released without charge. He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
Following his arrest, Scotland Yard released a statement saying: “An 82-year-old man from Berkshire was arrested by officers on Operation Yewtree, on suspicion of sexual offences.”
“He has been bailed to a date in May pending further enquiries.”
Police have refused to give any details of the allegations, which are currently under investigation.
Harris’ agents and lawyers have not commented publicly on his arrest.
