Gambaccini ‘could sue’

BROADCASTER Paul Gambaccini has revealed he is considering suing the Metropolitan Police after he endured a year of suspicion before being told he would not be prosecuted for historic sexual abuse.

The presenter and DJ told how he was dropped by the BBC and had his life turned upside down when he was arrested in October 2013 over a claim he sexually assaulted two teenage boys.

The Americanborn presenter spent a year on bail before finally being told he would not face charges because of insufficient evidence.

Speaking at the Gibraltar Literary Festival, he told how he had been the victim of a celebrity “witch hunt” launched by police in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

And he told how the outgoing Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard HoganHowe, who he called “the villain of my life”, has never apologised to him.
