Some 450 Victims Identified In Savile Investigation
Police investigating allegations of sexual abuse by the late Jimmy Savile have now identified around 450 victims.
200 claims of sexual assault have been recorded so far as part of Operation Yewtree, the probe into Savile and as-yet-unnamed others, the Metropolitan Police have said.
At 07.45 on Thursday morning a man in his 60s, from Bedfordshire, was arrested on suspicion of sexual offences.
It is the fourth arrest by Operation Yewtree officers.
In a statement, the Met said the latest arrest "falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'Others'", meaning the allegations are unrelated to Savile.
But the force added that the "vast majority" of the 450 possible victims were alleging sexual abuse by former BBC TV presenter and DJ Savile, who died last year aged 84.
