Video: Dave Lee Travis: 'my conscience is clear' The 67-year-old from Leighton Buzzard in Hertfordshire was quizzed over the new claims when he answered bail earlier this week following his arrest last year as part of Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree investigation into historic sexual abuse. It is thought the fresh allegations came to light following the publicity surrounding his first arrest in November last year. Detectives originally questioned him over allegations dating back to the 1970s and 1980s that he had sexually assaulted two adult females while at the height of his fame. He was the fourth person to be arrested as part of Operation Yewtree which was launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal. But Mr Travis vehemently denied any wrongdoing adding that he was appalled that the allegations had resulted in his name being linked with Savile.
