Labour suspended Norris, 66, last year after his original arrest on suspicion of child sexual abuse offences

Dan Norris, a former Labour minister and now an independent MP, has been rearrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, voyeurism and upskirting, it is understood.

Labour suspended Norris, 66, who defeated Jacob Rees-Mogg at the last election, last year after his original arrest.

Avon and Somerset police began investigating a man in his 60s in December 2024. He was initially arrested in April 2025 on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl, rape, child abduction and misconduct in public office.

The man has now been further arrested on suspicion of raping a woman, sexually assaulting another woman, and voyeurism and upskirting against a number of women.
