Latham-Koenig, 70, was arrested at Victoria train station in
London on Wednesday and charged the following day with arranging
or facilitating a child sexual offence and sexual communication
with a child, police said.
He was due to appear in a London court later on Friday. An agent
for the conductor did not immediately respond to an email
seeking comment.
Latham-Koenig began his career as a concert conductor with the
BBC, before going on to hold a number of music director
positions at orchestras and opera theatres across Europe,
including in Russia.
In 2020, Britain awarded him an OBE, a national honor, for
services to music and UK/Russia cultural relations.
