Dave Lee Travis Arrested Again By Police

Dave Lee Travis has denied any wrongdoing after he was arrested for a second time over new sex claims dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.

The former Radio 1 DJ had been previously arrested in November by police investigating Jimmy Savile amid two allegations that Travis groped or molested two women.

"He answered his bail and was re-arrested and questioned over new allegations from new victims," explained Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt.

"A number of new allegations have emerged over the past few weeks, since his initial arrest.

"More alleged victims have come forward to make complaints to Scotland Yard about alleged misbehaviour, sexual abuse, by Travis - enough for him to have been re-arrested."

It is not clear exactly how many fresh allegations the 67-year-old faces. He has since been released by police and bailed until April.

Officers are reportedly expected to make a decision on any charges by next month.

Travis denied any wrongdoing and said his conscience was "clear".

Speaking outside his home in Bedfordshire, he said: "The last four months have been extraordinary. Allegations which I strongly deny have been put to me by the police and to which I have given full and complete answers.

"I have fully co-operated and my conscience is clear."

Travis also denied any wrongdoing at the time of his first arrest, stressing the allegations against him had nothing to do with children.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said a man in his 60s from Bedfordshire had been interviewed when he answered bail on Monday.

He said the man was "further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations made to Operation Yewtree".

Police working on Operation Yewtree have said they are looking at three categories of offences - those allegedly committed by Savile alone, those allegedly committed by Savile and others, and alleged offences by others.
