"A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police said: A man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, exposure and sexual assault by touching on Tuesday 10 February. He was interviewed by detectives. This arrest relates to a sexual offence, which is alleged to have taken place in 2007 in London against a woman in her 20s. The man was also interviewed in relation to a voyeurism allegation, for which he was previously arrested in September 2025."
"This relates to an offence allegedly committed in 2013 at an address in London against a woman in her 20s. The man was bailed pending further inquiries and the Met's investigation continues. The inquiry is being led by the Met's central specialist crime command. Detectives searched Clarke's property in Kensington last September. Last year the Guardian successfully defended a defamation claim brought by Clarke after an investigation published in 2021."
