MP Dan Norris, who defeated Jacob Rees-Mogg in the 2024 election, has been arrested for a second time on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, voyeurism, and upskirting, with the alleged offenses occurring between the 2000s and 2020s. Norris, formerly a Labour minister, was initially arrested in April 2025 on suspicion of sexual offenses against a girl, rape, child abduction, and misconduct in public office, leading to his suspension from the Labour party. Avon and Somerset police are continuing their investigation into the original rape and misconduct allegations, while no longer actively investigating offenses against children. Norris denies all allegations and remains on conditional bail.
