Today he was further arrested on suspicion of indecent assaults in relation to five other former pupils. He was also arrested on suspicion of indecent assault in relation to offences alleged to have occurred in the North-East of England. He remains in police custody for questioning. Claims: Talbot is on police bail relating to one of the allegations over which he was initially arrested Talbot is one of many high-profile figures arrested over allegations of historic sex abuse over the past year, including Rolf Harris, Max Clifford and Dave Lee Travis. Many of those were investigated as part of Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, although Talbot's arrest is not connected to Yewtree.
