Man Arrested Over Rape at Exclusive Soho Spot Released on Bail
A 34-year-old man arrested over a suspected rape at the famous Groucho Club in Soho has been released on bail until late February, police confirmed.
Swanky Groucho Club’s Licence Suspended
The arrest follows claims a woman was attacked at the celeb-favourite venue in November. Police detained the suspect in Hertfordshire last Saturday. The high-profile club’s licence was swiftly suspended last week by Westminster Council at the Met’s request amid concerns over serious criminal activity and licence breaches. The suspension could last up to 28 days until a full hearing.
The Groucho Club has cooperated fully, accepted the decision, and Scotland Yard insists there’s no sign staff were involved in the alleged attack.
