Former "This Morning" Host John Leslie Announced He's been Cleared from Sexual Assault Allegations

By

Former TV and radio presenter, John Leslie said he has been cleared from sex assault allegations. Authorities told him that he will not be indicted over the sexual allegations of one woman. The former television personality expressed his relief and his anger as his name was tarnished again.

Police cleared the former "Blue Peter" and "This Morning" TV host name after he was accused of sexual assault, Mirror reported. Leslie revealed that the police informed him three days ago that he will not be charged over the said crime claimed by a woman in her early 20s.

"It's so clearly not fair. I'm an innocent man and I'm thrown to the wolves. This has been thrown out, but it might still be difficult for me to pick up the pieces and resume my career, but my accuser will retain her anonymity. It's a tragedy for me," the 50 year old former TV personality said. After he heard the news from the police, he said the first thing he did was to tell to his parents that his name has been cleared.

According to Daily Mail, Leslie admitted that he had spent the night with the woman complainant after the award event. He described the woman as his friend and revealed she was the one who asked him to go home with him. Leslie also admits that they both get drunk and got home together were they engaged on a sexual contact.

The presenter also said that he will be given a paperwork that will formally terminate the investigation, Belfast Telegraph reported. Leslie also added, while he was relief to be cleared, he served a hefty punishment for a crime he never committed. "The damage to my parents and to me is incalculable," he said.

Although he was never convicted of any of the sexual offences, the allegations effectively ended his TV career, and he had had to start again on radio in Edinburgh, where he lived a more modest lifestlye.
