The 24 year old man claims that Walsh indecently assaulted him in a nightclub lavatory.

Apparently Walsh was only voluntarily questioned by police officers.

Why would he be voluntarily questioned, others would be questioned whether they wanted to or not?

Regardless of whether or not this is only an accusation and further investigations are to take place, how can Simon Cowell say "I don't believe for a second that these allegations are true," was he there?

As I understand it, an individual can be invcited to assist with enquiries, which is entirely distinct from being under arrest - hence the voluntary aspect of the interview.

As advised, Simon Cowell is backing his good friend - as many of us would in the same situation. if you know someone well - and Cowell knows Walsh a lot better than any Sun Journalist I woul suggest - then he is rightly defending his friend's maligned reputation under the bedrock of our legal system - innocent until proven guilty.
