Supermodel Kate Moss will not face charges over allegations she took illegal drugs at a London recording studio last year, the Crown Prosecution Service said on Thursday.
The 32-year-old was questioned by police but not arrested after the Daily Mirror tabloid published photographs from film taken last September of her apparently snorting large quantities of cocaine.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it had concluded there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of convicting the model.
“The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others,” said Rene Barclay, the Crown Prosecution Service's London director of serious casework.
“However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established.
“Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eye witnesses also declined to provide evidence.”
