Labour Councillor Arrested for Sexual Assault

0:00Leicestershire Police arrested a 75-year-old man on suspicion of sexual assault against a woman at a business spot in Melton, Moe, Breon. March 12th, that man is former Melton Burrow Council leader, Pip Allnet, a labor counselor still serving the Melton Egerton Award. Allnet got elected to the top council job in May 2023, but stepped down on April 2nd, blaming it on health problems. Opps grabbed him on Sunday, March 22nd, then cut him loose on bail as they keep probing the report filed a week earlier. The council knows about the allegation, but zipped it up, saying it's got nothing to do with their operations, and they've checked for any bigger risks. No public comments from them while police handle it. He's reportedly on administrative suspension from labor during the investigation. And the council website lists him as non-aligned, but still active. For his ward, inquiries are rolling on, so we'll watch how this plays out in the weeks ahead.
