I may have missed something, but what did he actually do 'last time'?
Absolutely nothing, all investigations and any charges against him were dropped. he does seem to meet some litigious women though
In October 2002, it emerged that
Ulrika Jonsson had written in her autobiography,
Honest, that "an acquaintance" had raped her when she was 19. It became known that the man was a TV presenter after comments by
Jonathan Ross on his chat show.
[13] Amid media speculation, television presenter
Matthew Wright disclosed on
The Wright Stuff that Leslie was the alleged perpetrator.
[14] Jonsson has never said whether the correct person was named.
[15][16]
Shortly afterwards, other women made accusations of indecent assault against Leslie, and he was arrested in December 2002 on one count of rape and two concerning indecent assault, and released on bail after being interviewed by the police.
[17] Leslie was charged in June 2003 with assaulting a woman twice between 25 and 28 May 1997.
[18] He was never charged for offences against Jonsson.
[19] The prosecution dropped the charges against Leslie at
Southwark Crown Court on 31 July 2003 after new information from the alleged victim.
[20] On the court steps after he was cleared, Leslie said that he had "been to hell and back" and that he had "maintained [his] innocence throughout".
[20]
In January 2006 Leslie was interviewed for the BBC series
My Childhood, during which he analysed his childhood memories, with psychiatrist Linda Treliving. In the programme Leslie admitted that he "had never learnt how to treat women with respect" and "never learnt how to chat up women", admitting that he abused drugs, but claiming he did so as a result of childhood trauma. Shortly afterwards, in an interview with
The Independent, he repeated this version of events, admitting "my behaviour was at times inappropriate".
[1][21]
On 23 June 2008, British media reported that Leslie had again been arrested in relation to an alleged rape that happened in November 1995.
[22] Again, no charges were brought.
[23]
Speaking on ITV's
Daybreak programme in early 2013, Leslie recounted the events subsequent to the allegations being made and said that he had contemplated suicide.
[24]
In November 2015, Leslie was suspended from his job on Radio Forth while police investigated claims he sexually assaulted a 22-year-old woman following a radio awards ceremony. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: 'Police in Edinburgh are investigating a report of a sexual assault of a 22-year-old woman, which took place between the evening of Thursday 19 November and the morning of Friday 20 November in Edinburgh'. The investigation into this allegation was dropped on 14 February 2016.
