British MP Dan Norris rearrested for non-recent sexual offenses, child abduction and rape, police confirm as investigation continues.
LONDON: British Member of Parliament Dan Norris (pic) has been rearrested over allegations of non-recent sexual offenses.
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the 66-year-old was arrested for a second time, accused of a string of sexual offenses.
“The man was initially arrested in April 2025 on suspicion of sexual offenses against a girl (under the Sexual Offences Act 1956), rape (under the Sexual Offences Act 2003), child abduction and misconduct in a public office,” said the police.
Norris was suspended from the Labour Party following his first arrest last year.
He was elected as the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham in July 2024.
“An investigation into allegations of non-recent sexual offenses, which resulted in the arrest of a man in his sixties, is continuing,” noted the police.
Now sitting as an independent lawmaker, Norris has not attended the House of Commons since his arrest.
He is still able to vote by proxy. – Bernama-Anadolu
