DJ Travis: Arrest by Savile probe detectives 'nothing to do with kids'
DJ Dave Lee Travis today denied any wrongdoing after his arrest by detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal, stressing that allegations against him had “nothing to do with kids”.
Speaking outside his home near Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, the 67-year-old protested his innocence and said he did not want his name associated with “bloody evil” child abuse.
He said: “This is nothing to do with kids, all right? That’s the first thing.
“Because that to me is the most important thing in the world and I do not wish to have my name sullied around something that bloody evil, to be honest.
“The second thing I want is to say, yes, there’s a complete denial there, but there’s nothing else I can tell you because otherwise I might be stepping on the police’s feet and I don’t want to do that because it might affect their investigations.”
