"A man understood to be MP Dan Norris has been further arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, voyeurism and upskirting. The independent MP had been suspended by the Labour Party and had the whip in the House of Commons removed last year after his original arrest on suspicion of historical child sex offences. The Independent understands Norris, 66, has now been further arrested on suspicion of rape against a second woman, sexual assault against a third woman, as well as voyeurism and upskirting against a number of women. In a statement issued after his first arrest, the BBC reported Norris said he continues to represent his constituents as well as staying across local and national developments and handling casework and policy queries and asking parliamentary questions. The Independent has approached Norris for comment."
"Avon and Somerset Police began investigating a man in his sixties in December 2024. He was initially arrested in April 2025 on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl, rape, child abduction and misconduct in public office. On Monday, police announced the man has now been further arrested on suspicion of rape against a second woman, sexual assault against a third woman, and voyeurism and upskirting against a number of women."
"The force said it is no longer actively investigating any sexual offences against children, but the original rape and misconduct in a public office investigation is continuing. An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: Investigations into sexual offences are sensitive and complex and as a result it can take a significant amount of time for inquiries to be completed. We are keeping victims updated on any developments and we will continue to give access to any support they may need."
