Sir Richard was interviewed by detectives following a police raid. He was not arrested or charged.
Daily Record reports:
South Yorkshire Police chief constable David Crompton said the ‘expanding nature’ of the investigation meant he could not give a date when it would be concluded.
In a letter to Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, Mr Crompton said the force was in regular contact with Sir Cliff’s lawyers.
A statement released by Sir Cliff tonight said: “I have no idea where these absurd and untrue allegations come from.
“The police have not disclosed details to me. I have never, in my life, assaulted anyone and I remain confident that the truth will prevail. I have co-operated fully with the police, and will, of course, continue to do so.
