Jim Davidson Arrested And Bailed In Sex Offences Investigation
Comedian Jim Davidson was one of two men arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of sexual offences.
Davidson was arrested by officers from Operation Yewtree, set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Both men have since been bailed.
Mr Davidson's solicitor said his client - who has been bailed to return in March pending further inquiries - "vigorously denies" the alleged crimes.
A 53-year-old man was also arrested in Hampshire and subsequently bailed.
Scotland Yard said the arrests were not connected to the allegations made against ex-BBC presenter Savile.
In a statement, Mr Davidson's solicitor, Henri Brandman, said two women have made allegations dating back approximately 25 years.
"The complainants were then in their mid-20s. Jim vigorously denies the allegations.
"He answered police questions as fully as he was able after this passage of time.
"He has not been charged with any offence. Neither he nor I will be making any further comment."
