Charges considered

POLICE have submitted a file of sex offence allegations against former Metro Mayor Dan Norris to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Lawyers must now consider whether there is enough evidence to bring charges against the former mayor, the MP for North East Somerset & Hanham.

Avon & Somerset Police issued a statement in July, saying: “We’ve been carrying out an investigation into allegations of sexual offences which led to the arrest of a man in his sixties.The investigation, which is being led by officers with Operation Bluestone, our dedicated rape and serious sexual assault investigation team, began in December 2024. The allegations being investigated relate to rape against three women, sexual assault against a fourth woman, as well as voyeurism and upskirting against a number of women. All are alleged to have occurred between the 2000s and 2020s.”
