An Orthodox Jewish rabbi and three others arrested as part of a sex assault investigation have been released on bail until April.

Rabbi Chaim Halpern, of the Divrei Chaim Synagogue, in Golders Green, was detained on February 20 on suspicion of sexual assault and perverting the course of justice.

The 54-year-old was arrested by officers investigating allegations of sexual abuse within the Orthodox Jewish community.
