Max Clifford arrested in Savile sex inquiry

PR consultant Max Clifford has been arrested by detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.

The publicist was arrested at his Surrey home at 7.40am on suspicion of sexual offences and taken to a central London police station for questioning, a source confirmed.

He was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, the investigation into allegations of sex abuse surrounding Savile and others.

Mr Clifford is the fifth suspect to be arrested - and sixth person to be questioned - in connection with the Yewtree operation which has already cost around £2m and involves a team of 30 officers.

A Met spokesman said: "The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'Others'. We are not prepared to discuss further."

Last week a man aged in his 80s from Berkshire was interviewed by detectives, also as part of the investigation that does not directly relate to Savile.

Gary Glitter, comedian Freddie Starr, DJ Dave Lee Travis and a man in his 70s, reported to be former television producer Wilfred De'Ath, have been arrested and bailed as part of the probe.

Last month, police said they were dealing with around 450 potential victims, the vast majority of whom claimed they had fallen prey to Savile.

Officers are looking at three strands within their inquiry: claims against Savile, those against Savile and others, and those against others.
