A prominent British TV soap star in the UK has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing five underage boys. The actor, whose identity remains undisclosed, was apprehended by police at his home after a raid.
According to reports from ‘The Sun’, the actor, known for his significant role in a popular soap opera, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in UK television. During the operation, police seized computer equipment and documents as part of their investigation. This arrest follows an earlier visit by authorities this month concerning the allegations.
Sources indicate that the soap star is in disbelief over the accusations, which date back to the 1990s, and he has denied any wrongdoing.
A police spokesperson confirmed, “A man has been arrested on suspicion of historical child sex offences involving five victims. Officers investigating allegations from the 1990s detained a man who was arrested on suspicion of several sexual offences relating to five men who were teenage boys at the time of the alleged offending. He has been conditionally bailed while enquiries continue.”
