Ken Clarke can now be named as an alleged paedophile

Ben Fellows has been granted bail ahead of a plea and case management hearing at the Old Bailey on 20 July 2015.

"A man is to stand trial accused of falsely accusing Conservative MP Ken Clarke of indecent assault." 

"Benjamin Fellows, 40, is accused of perverting the course of justice." 

"He claimed Mr Clarke  ... of touching his "private parts" when he was a teenager.  Fellows, who claims to be an actor and former child star, is thought to have alleged the incident happened in 1994. He was said to have been working undercover for ITV's current affairs programme, the Cook Report. "
