		</div><p>Former music mogul Jonathan King has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of historical child sex offences connected to a disco in the 1970s and 1980s.</p>
<p>The 70-year-old was reportedly arrested at his home in Bayswater, west London, in relation to claims the offences were committed against boys under the age of 16.</p>
<p>An investigation called Operation Ravine was launched in late 2014 to look into child sex crimes linked to the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames.</p>
<p>Surrey Police also arrested two other men, aged 77 and 86, from Walton-on-Thames on suspicion of the same offence.</p>
<p>Officers were pictured in the Sun newspaper carrying evidence bags from King&#8217;s house. The homes of the other suspects have also been searched and the force said it is pursuing a &#8220;number of lines of inquiry&#8221;.</p>
<p>Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Karen Mizzi said: &#8220;This is a complex investigation into numerous allegations of sexual abuse and assault dating back over several decades.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our investigation focuses on the Walton Hop Disco, a popular event for youngsters between the 1970s and 1980s, and we are following a number of lines of inquiry. However, if anyone has information that may help the investigation I would ask them to contact us.&#8221;</p>

<p>Operation Ravine was established following a review by Merseyside Police into the Surrey Police investigation entitled Operation Arundel which launched in 2000.</p>
<p>King, a former chart-topping star and TV producer, had worked on BBC shows such as No Limits and The Great British Song Contest.</p>
<p>His 1965 single Everyone&#8217;s Gone to the Moon reached number four in the UK and number 17 in America.</p>
<p>The impresario also discovered and named Genesis and produced the first hit for the Bay City Rollers.<br />
Other bands he was involved with included the supergroup 10CC, who enjoyed a string of hits during the 1970s.</p>
