He said that an attempt to arrest Maxwell in connection with the sexual assault in Newport Pagnell the day after it occurred in Milton Keynes, but he was not present. They later established he was at an “unknown location” in Scotland at one point, and “further arrest attempts were continually made throughout the UK at various different addresses”.
DCS Hunter added: “Maxwell knew he was wanted in connection with the sexual assault and was travelling across the UK and making concerted efforts to evade arrest, including using false names and changing his mobile phone and vehicles. He is likely to have known that he would be returning to prison if he was arrested and convicted.”
However, he noted: “Whilst Maxwell has been nominated as a suspect, this does not mean he is guilty of any offence.
“We will keep an open mind, and our detailed investigation will seek to gather sufficient evidence to establish the truth. This may or may not implicate or exonerate Maxwell or any other persons from the investigation.”
DCS Hunter also said that from the outset of the investigation, “we immediately and thoroughly followed every reasonable line of enquiry”.
Anyone with information that may be relevant to the investigation is asked to contact the police quoting Operation Innsbruck.
Thames Valley Police declined to comment.
