DJ’s fury over Met Police’s ‘witch hunt’
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 American-born 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.
He said: “The Metropolitan Police of Bernard Hogan-Howe attempted to destroy my life and end my career for their own public relations purposes in a 100 per cent fraud.”
Mr Gambaccini also revealed that he is considering suing the Met Police after recently discovering that his case file has errors in it and that allegations relating to a second complainant, who he calls secondary, do not feature.
