Unnamed soap star arrested on suspicion of child sex abuse
An unnamed male soap star is arrested on suspicion of abusing five teenage boys in the 1990s.

A male soap star has been arrested on suspicion of historical child sex offences.

The story was first reported by The Sun's North West editor, who said that the unnamed star was taken in by police following allegations from five men who claimed that he abused them when they were teenagers in the 1990s.

The man was said to be stunned by the allegations when he was arrested at his family home earlier this month, before spending several hours being interviewed by detectives and then being released on bail.

A police spokesman said: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of historical child sex offences involving five victims.

"Officers investigating allegations relating to the 1990s detained a man.

"He was arrested on suspicion of several sexual offences relating to five men who were teenage boys at the time of the alleged offending.

"He has been conditionally bailed while enquiries continue."
