Sir Cliff Richard refuses to know name of accuser as he doesn't want to 'hate' him

Sir Cliff Richard says he refuses to know the name of his sexual assault accuser.

The singer was accused of having had sex with a 15-year-old boy at a rally in Sheffield in 1985 back in 2014, whilst four men also accused him of sexual offences, which they alleged took place between 1958 and 1983. The allegations were put to the Crown Prosecution Service but eventually were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Cliff was never arrested or charged in the investigation and has always denied the claims. He spoke about the ordeal he experienced on the Channel 4 documentary, The Accused: National Treasures On Trial.
