> These claims have subsequently led to at least some of the involved parties submitting police reports alleging sexual assault. And from reports by the newspapers the expectation is that more parties are coming forward.
This is accurate, but to give context:
> A spokesperson for the Met said: "We are aware of reporting by The Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches about allegations of sexual offences.
> "On Sunday 17 September, the Met received a report of a sexual assault which was alleged to have taken place in Soho in central London in 2003. Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.
> "We first spoke with The Sunday Times on Saturday 16 September and have since made further approaches to The Sunday Times and Channel 4 to ensure that anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual offence is aware of how to report this to the police.
It appears no claims to the police were made prior to or during the reporting, and the one there now is only due to the police actively following up. This is of course a serious matter, but does not appear to the the flood of claims that can be infered from the above.
