Conservative MP and deputy speaker of Britain\s parliament Nigel Evans (L) arrives to make a news statement outside of the Houses of Parliament in London May 7, 2013.
 
Britain's Crown Prosecution2 Service said enough evidence had been gathered to prosecute4 Nigel Evans, a member of Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party, for eight offences.
 
Fifty-five year old Evans, who has been the MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire in northern England since 1992 and was arrested twice earlier this year, has denied any wrongdoing.
 
"Lancashire Constabulary has ... been authorised to charge two counts of indecent assault, five counts of sexual assault and one count of rape relating to a total of seven alleged5 victims," the prosecution service said in a statement.
 
The assaults, dating from 2002 until 2013, were all on men.
 
Without citing sources, the BBC said Evans had resigned as deputy speaker but this could not immediately be verified.
 
Evans was detained in May on suspicion of rape and sexual assault but said the allegations were "completely false".
 
Police said he was arrested for a second time in June.
 
One of parliament's three deputy speakers since 2010, Evans' role includes keeping order during often fractious debates, calling on members to speak and enforcing the rules of the lower House of Parliament.
 
Evans, who told a newspaper in 2010 that he was gay, was vice3 chairman of the Conservative party from 1999 to 2001 and shadow Welsh Secretary for two years after that while the Conservatives were in opposition6.
 
He is due to appear before Preston Magistrates7 Court on Sept. 18.
