A former Dragon’s Den star and adviser to David Cameron until three years ago has been charged with child sex offences.
Doug Richard - who appeared in the first two series of the popular BBC programme and has had a long association with the Prime Minister - is accused of three counts of sexual activity with a 13-year-old girl and one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The 56-year-old American-born entrepreneur, who now lives in Cambridge, will appear before City of London Magistrates' Court on Monday, October 5.
Caroline Hughes, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said on Monday: "We have carefully considered the evidence gathered by City of London Police in relation to Douglas Richard, 57, who was arrested on 5 January this year.
“Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Douglas Richard to be charged with three counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
“The alleged offences occurred on 2 January 2015 and relate to one victim aged 13 at the time.
