According to The Sun, the reports also claimed the child had been raped more than once.

It was reported that the suspect, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was working in the television industry at the time of the alleged crimes.

The Sun further reports that the presenter’s superiors were informed about the police investigation and the arrest.

However, it is claimed that the unnamed presenter’s TV colleagues were unaware of the situation.

It is also reported that the complainant made the allegation recently and it was later reported to the police.

The complainant was interviewed by child abuse investigators in a special room before an investigation was launched, The Sun reports.

The police conducting the investigation also confirmed that an arrest had been made.

A neighbor who spoke to The Sun about the arrest said: “The police came very early.”

“They took him and were there for a while and conducted a search.
