A third man has reportedly come forward with claims that he was sexually assaulted by the House of Commons Deputy Speaker.
Nigel Evans, 55, was arrested on May 4 after claims that he raped one man and sexually assaulted another between 2009 and 2013 – accusations he has branded ‘completely false’.
But he faces renewed pressure after claims emerged that a third man has told police he was also abused by the Deputy Speaker in the House of Commons two years ago.
According to the Sunday Times the victim gave a statement to Lancashire constabulary after hearing about the MP’s arrest over two other claims of sexual assault.
A spokesman for Lancashire constabulary told the newspaper: ‘We are speaking to a number of people in connection with this investigation, but as this is an ongoing criminal inquiry we will not be providing any further detail or any comment around any further allegations.’
