A third man has been arrested in connection with the investigation into historic allegations of child abuse in the early 1980s at the Elm Guest House in Barnes.

Officers from Operation Fernbridge have today, Tuesday, July 9, arrested a 69-year-old at an address in west London on suspicion of possession of indecent images of children.

He was taken into police custody and has since been bailed to return, pending further inquiries, in September.

Reverend Tony McSweeney, 66, from Norfolk, was arrested in February 2013, along with another man aged 70 from East Sussex on suspicion of sexual offences relating to the guest house in Rocks Lane.
