Top Gear's Chris Evans 'to be quizzed by police over sexual assault allegations within days after complaint from former colleague'
Top Gear host Chris Evans is to be questioned by police over sexual assault allegations after a former colleague complained about him, it has been reported.
The television presenter, 50, will be quizzed by officers from London's Metropolitan Police in the next few days over the historical sex assault claims, The Sun reports.
Sources told the newspaper that the Radio 2 presenter will be spoken to 'in the near future' by officers investigating the complaint made by a former colleague.
The claims come just two months after he was accused of grabbing a colleague's breasts and 'flashing her almost every day for two years'.
The woman said she worked with Evans in the 1990s and she was 'bullied' by him after rejecting his advances, with her complaints falling on deaf ears.
But Evans, 52, hit out at what he has called a 'witch hunt' around him that has had a 'devastating' effect on his family.
Speaking anonymously in May, the woman said she was 'sent to Coventry' after spurning the Radio 2 DJ's advances and that he 'told colleagues not to talk to her'.
The former colleague said she was speaking out to prevent others becoming victims of his 'bullying behaviour'.
She said she sought legal advice over her claims several years ago, particularly around the 'flashing', which she said was a tactic to 'punish those who didn't do what he wanted'.
It comes after several of the presenter's former colleagues took to social media also accusing him of bullying.
The woman said she was 'not surprised' to hear those allegations and said she was eventually prescribed anti-depressants after becoming 'burnt-out' and 'traumatised by Evans', who she claimed 'knew he could get away with it'.
