Police have dropped their investigation into a Conservative MP and former minister who was accused of rape.
The MP who is said to be a former Government minister was arrested on the 1st August and later realised on bail.
The MP has not been named.
This followed the Metropolitan Police receiving allegations the previous day of sexual offences and assault relating to four separate incidents at addresses in London, including Westminster.
A spokeswoman said “no further action” would be taken, following a “thorough investigation”, adding: “The complainant has been made aware of the decision.”
The MP, in his 50s, did not return to the House of Commons after the parliamentary recess ended on 1 September.
The Mayor of London’s Victims’ Commissioner, Claire Waxman, criticised the decision to allow the MP to work remotely, saying he should not have contact with constituents while being investigated.
At the time of the Police launching their investigation, a spokeswoman on behalf of the Conservative whips office said: “These are serious allegations and it is right that they are investigated fully. A decision on the whip will be reviewed once the police investigation has been concluded.”
The Conservative Party faced calls to suspend him, but Chief Whip Mark Spencer said it was for the police to investigate.
The alleged victim told the Sunday Times she intended to appeal against the Met’s decision under the Victims’ Right to Review Scheme.
