File sent to CPS after sex offence allegations against suspended Labour MP Dan Norris

Sky News understands the case against the suspended Labour MP Dan Norris has been sent to the CPS for a charging decision, as he faces multiple allegations of serious sexual offences.

Officers from Avon and Somerset Police's rape and serious sexual offence team have been working on the investigation into Norris, who is the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham.

He faces allegations of rape against three women, sexual assault against a fourth woman, as well as voyeurism and upskirting against a number of women.

All offences are alleged to have occurred from 2000 and into the 2020s.

"As a result of our enquiries, a file has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider a charging decision," said a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police.

"We've updated the victims about this significant development, and we'll continue to make sure they have access to any help or support they need.

"We'd respectfully ask people do not speculate on the circumstances so the investigation can continue unhindered."

Norris was re-elected as an MP in the 2024 general election, when he was still serving as the mayor of the West of England. He unseated the former Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg to win the North East Somerset and Hanham seat.

He was suspended by the Labour Party after his arrest in April 2025 and has not attended Parliament since he was released on police bail.

He has always denied the allegations, saying in a previous statement: "I vigorously and entirely deny the serious allegations made against me. They are untrue. I am challenging them through my legal representatives."

A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Dan Norris was immediately suspended by the Labour Party upon being informed of his initial arrest. The allegations against him are appalling and any person found guilty of such abhorrent crimes must face the full force of the law. We cannot comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing."
