Tory MP Andrew Rosindell faces no further action after police dropped a rape and sexual assault investigation into him.

Scotland Yard said a “thorough investigation” had been carried out and the evidence threshold for criminal prosecution had not been met.

Mr Rosindell has not voted in the Commons since April 2022 after the Metropolitan Police received a report relating to alleged offences taking place in London between 2002 and 2009.

He was arrested in May 2022 on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “A thorough investigation has been carried out by detectives. They concluded that the evidence did not meet the threshold set by Crown prosecutors.
