Sir Cliff Richard's Berkshire property searched by police

Police are searching a Berkshire property belonging to Sir Cliff Richard in relation to an alleged historical sex offence.

No arrests have been made and Sir Cliff is not at the property.

A police spokesman said the allegation involved a boy under 16 and dated from the 1980s in the South Yorkshire area.

The search is not connected to Operation Yewtree, police said, but officers from that operation have been notified.

The singer, born Harry Webb, is one of the most successful British musicians of all time.

He has sold 21.5 million singles - more than any other male British artist - and is the only performer to have had at least one UK top five album in each of the last seven decades.

Any statue of limitation on such a thing? I don't know of the guy myself but if there is, this is probably political targeting while ignoring the law.

Never been a fan of his music. I always found him a little creepy.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was involved in abusing kids too. Seems the whole UK establishment have some involvement or are keeping quiet about people they know.

Lots of money turns most people into monsters without empathy.

Okay a little bit about his personal life.

I like dating women.
Now I live with a man.
I'm not gay, but I live with a guy.
I haven't publicly dated a woman in years, but I'm not gay
I'm being investigated by police for alleged impropriety with an under 16 year old boy in the 1980's

Stop lying to yourself and tell the truth, we don't care if you are gay.

I don't think anyone cares if he's (allegedly) gay as the GB public made their minds up about his sexuality years ago.

Just like they seem to have made their minds up about these recent allegations.
