Labour MP Dan Norris Arrested & Suspended
Labour MP Dan Norris is arrested on suspicion of rape and child sex offences after police raid
A Labour MP has been arrested on suspicion of rape and child sex offences, the Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Dan Norris, a former Labour minister who ousted Jacob Rees-Mogg as MP for North East Somerset at last year's General Election, was taken into custody after police raided his constituency home on Friday.
They were later seen removing boxes of Mr Norris's goods from the property.
***Mr Norris, who trained with the NSPCC and worked as a teacher and child protection officer*** has been suspended from the party pending the investigation.
A spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police said: 'In December 2024, we received a referral from another police force relating to alleged non-recent child sex offences having been committed against a girl.
Most of the offences are alleged to have occurred in the 2000s, but we're also investigating an alleged offence of rape from the 2020s.
An investigation, led by officers within Operation Bluestone, our dedicated rape and serious sexual assault investigation team, remains ongoing and at an early stage.
'The victim is being supported and given access to any specialist help or support she needs.
