Former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning has been arrested over further allegations of sexual offences.
He was detained as part of the police investigation sparked by the Jimmy Savile abuse claims.
Denning, 72, was re-arrested at an address in east London and has been re-bailed until October.
He was originally arrested on June 3 on suspicion of sexual offences and later released on bail.
The claims against him are not linked to disgraced television presenter Savile.
Denning was the 13th person arrested as part of Operation Yewtree.


It is the national police investigation into alleged sexual offences that was originally launched when claims were made against Savile.
Detectives have run the probe in three strands - allegations involving Savile, those involving Savile and others, and those involving others.

The claims against Denning are being dealt with under the "others" strand.
Denning was one of Radio 1's launch team in 1967, having been an announcer on BBC2, and also worked as a music producer.
