The Sun newspaper alleged today that Big Brother evictee Sezer Yurtseven was arrested last weekend on rape charges.

The BBC reported

A City of London police spokesman confirmed a 26-year old man was arrested following an “alleged incident of rape on Friday morning”.

The arrest relates to an incident said to have happened at the Great Eastern Hotel in east London, close to Liverpool Street station.

Londoner Mr Yurtseven was voted off the Channel 4 reality game show on 2 June.

A police spokesman added: “He has now been bailed to reappear in Bishopsgate police station on a date in August.”

The Sun newspaper said the alleged victim reported the attack within hours and was interviewed by specialist officers.

Mr Yurtseven, a stockbroker, denies the allegation and will answer bail on 17 August, the newspaper said.
