Is there an innocent reason why his bail would be £100k-£200k for an alleged offence like this? It seems incredibly high and serves only to reinforce the suggestion that this is merely an excuse to detain him.

I'm not sure what's common there, but note that he has quite a bit of mobility, money and power and the charges are (while quite possibly complete nonsense) for serious crimes. Also, the number is reported as hearsay by Sky, which means it isn't exactly solid information.
