The broadcaster Dan Wootton has been cleared of alleged criminal behaviour
after the Metropolitan police decided to take no action after a six-month
investigation.

Last October, the Met said it was investigating a 40-year-old after the force
was handed a 28-page dossier in June by "journalists" at small online hard-
left Byline Times.

On Wednesday he said had been “completely cleared” after the Met and Police
Scotland told him that no further action would be taken.

In a statement issued through his lawyer, Wootton said he had been
subjected to a “politically motivated witch-hunt through the left wing and
social media”.

He said the accusations made against him “were completely spurious – lies
designed to destroy my career where complainants were actuated by malice”.


He said: “I have now been completely cleared in two investigations by the
Metropolitan and Scottish police, who have confirmed they will be taking no
further action.

“While I knew this would always be the outcome, the process is now the
punishment, with social media acting as the executioner.
