John Leslie rape investigation dropped

John Leslie, the former Blue Peter presenter acquitted of indecent assault in 2003, will not face police action over fresh allegations of rape.

The latest claim against Leslie came after a party at his home in Sheen, West London. A woman in her early 20s is reported to have said she was attacked at the party.

Leslie attended Teddington Police station last month when the allegation surfaced. The next day he released a statement in which he condemned “lies about my private life” and said: “I certainly did not attack this person as I have never attacked anyone.”

The entire Ulrika Johnson/John Leslie affair infuriated me back in 2002. She basically accused him of rape and the media chose to believe her story and went about ruining the career of John Leslie. For all anyone knows she made a false allegation. In fact, she probably did!
