The police investigation into singer, Sir Cliff Richard, has “increased significantly in size” as he faces a number of allegations. Although the record shows that the singer was last questioned in August by detectives looking into claims of a sexual offence against a boy in 1985, which he vehemently denies, a letter from South Yorkshire Police to Home Affairs Committee Chairman, Keith Vaz, has revealed new updates in the case.

According to the letter dated on February 10th, “South Yorkshire Police detectives are in very regular contact with Sir Cliff Richard’s lawyers. Typically this involves a verbal update about once a fortnight.” The letter explained that “this is an investigation which has increased significantly in size since its inception. Sir Cliff Richard’s lawyers are aware there is more than one allegation. In view of the expanding nature of the investigation, it would be premature and potentially misleading to predict a likely date when it will be concluded.”

Whereas on the other hand, Sir Cliff mentioned in a statement that “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.” He added that “beyond stating that the allegations are completely false, it would not be appropriate for me to say anything further until the investigation has concluded, which I hope will be very soon.” He alleged that “in the meantime, I would, again, like to thank everyone for supporting me through this unbelievably difficult period.”
