Surrey Police Launch new Investigation Into Teen Disco Abuse Allegations
A new investigation has been launched into allegations of sex abuse at a teenage disco in Surrey, after a review of the case uncovered new lines of inquiry.
Surrey Police announced it will re-investigate allegations that celebrities abused teenagers at the Walton Hop youth club in Walton-on-Thames during the 1980s.
Officers had previously launched Operation Arundel, following the conviction of Jonathan King, who was jailed for sex offences in 2001.
No others arrests have been made as a result of follow-up investigations.
"The force conducted a previous investigation involving allegations of historic sexual abuse by high profile individuals linked with the Walton Hop disco under the name Operational Arundel resulting in several convictions for sexual offences," a police statement begins.
Continuing: "In January 2014, Surrey Police commissioned an independent review of Operation Arundel by Merseyside Police to ensure all available lines of inquiry had been fully identified and exploited.
"This review has now been completed and a number of actions have been identified which are now being progressed by Surrey Police as Operation Ravine."
