Former Love Island Contestant Re-Arrested on Suspicion of Perverting Course of Justice

Metropolitan Police say the arrest follows an active inquiry into alleged sexual assault, stalking and related offences and involves suspected attempts to interfere with an alleged victim.

Overview

  • Police arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and bailed him pending further enquiries after attending an address on April 27.
  • The Met says the re-arrest is linked to an ongoing investigation that includes allegations of sexual assault, stalking, criminal damage and assault.
  • The same man was first detained when he landed at Gatwick in November as part of the original inquiry and was later released on bail.
  • Reporting identifies the suspect as a former Love Island contestant who is not part of the current series but does not name him for legal reasons.
  • ITV is reported to be aware of the investigation but has not publicly commented and the perverting allegation could lead to separate charges and further reputational risk for the show.
