Former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie, who was acquitted of an indecent assault back in 2003, was arrested last night over an attack at his home, which is alleged to have taken place in 1995…

Last night a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said:

“We are investigating an allegation of rape and indecent assault on a woman. The allegation dates from November 1995. At approximately 7pm this evening a man aged in his 40s attended a London police station by appointment and was arrested in connection with the inquiry. He was interviewed and has been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in August.”

A source close to Leslie claims he is ‘devastated’ by the recent allegations.

Why has it taken 8 years? If this did happen wouldn't the "lady" reported sooner? There should be a time limit on this sort of crime - theres no fornesic evidence by now unless she kept her knickers from that night in a plastic bag!

I'm not a fan of John Leslie, but if this is true then why leave it 13 years to come forward and say anything about it. We don't know if he's done anything until there is proof one way or the other.

If someone does the crime they deserve to go down for it... but you need credible evidence. With a murder you have dna etc... with a rape that happened over 8 years ago what credible evidence do you have? Will it come down to he said/she said? Why has it taken so long to come forward, with risk now being- if he is guilty he could be let off because of no evidence... or if he is innocent, what is left of his career and life in shatters again. Whatever we think about him as a "person", all parties must be heard fairly and all evidence heard also. Only then can a decision be made.
