A 67-YEAR-OLD Hyndburn man has been interviewed by police over complaints of sexual offences.
The man attended the interview by appointment on Monday, January 15, and was spoken to during the course of the day.
A police spokesman said: “He has not been arrested, inquiries are on-going. The offences are alleged to have been committed in Oswaldtwistle between January and July 2017. There are three complainants; men aged 18 and 19 years.
“We take all allegations of a sexual nature extremely seriously and understand how difficult it can be for victims to have the confidence to come forward.
“As a constabulary, we are committed to investigating sexual offences sensitively and recognising the impact that these types of crimes have on victims.
“We would encourage anyone who has experienced sexual abuse, or who has information about it, to have the confidence to report it to us knowing that we will take it seriously, deal with it sensitively and investigate it thoroughly.”
