A 36-year-old man arrested in connection with sex abuse allegations made by MP’s wife Karen Danczuk has been released on bail.

Danczuk, 31, wife of Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, claims she was raped and sexually assaulted “hundreds of times” as a child at her family home in Manchester.

Her alleged attacker, who lives nearby, was arrested by Greater Manchester police (GMP) on Sunday afternoon and later bailed until 30 April.

Danczuk says the abuse took place between 1989 and 1995 when she was aged between six and 12.

DI Caroline Ward of GMP said: “We work hard to support victims of sexual offences and thoroughly investigate all reports of sexual abuse and rape no matter how long ago they happened.

“We will do everything we can to support victims and bring offenders to justice.”
