Man Arrested for Rape at Groucho Club

A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman at The Groucho Club in Soho, London, following an incident reported on November 13. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation, with the suspect being arrested at an address in Hertfordshire and currently in custody. The Groucho Club's operating license has been suspended for up to 28 days by Westminster Council due to concerns of a breach in licensing conditions as the venue was the scene of the alleged crime. There is no indication that employees of the club were involved in the offence. The woman involved is receiving support from specialist officers during the ongoing investigation. This incident is part of a broader scrutiny of clubs in the area, with another unrelated case leading to a license suspension at the Heaven nightclub.
