Chris Evans Sex Offence Investigation Dropped

Chris Evans will face no further action over allegations of sexual assault after being interviewed under caution by police.

Police say there is "insufficient evidence to proceed" with the investigation, after an allegation of non-recent sexual offences was brought in May.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: "A man in his 50s was interviewed under caution by police at an east London police building.

"The decision was made by the police that there was insufficient evidence to proceed."

Sky News understands the claims were made by a woman who said she knew him in the 1990s.

Officers from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command had looked into the complaint.

A statement from Evans' agent said: "The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that the complaint has been investigated, but it fails to meet the evidential test to warrant any further action. Case is dropped."
