Guido can reveal that the police have dropped their investigation into Romford MP Andrew Rosindell. In response to a question this morning his office gave the following short statement:

“In relation to an allegation made in May 2022 by an individual against Andrew Rosindell the Metropolitan Police have conducted a thorough investigation and concluded that there was no case to answer and that no further action will be taken. He has been completely exonerated.”

For some time Guido has understood that the individual concerned did not want to pursue the case. Rosindell insisted he never even knew the person when one of the alleged offences were purported to have happened. The complainant was said to have an ulterior motive. All in all a very sad affair.

Read the Met’s statement below:

“In January 2020, the Met received a report relating to alleged sexual offences having being committed in London between 2002 and 2009.

A man, aged in his 50s, was arrested in May 2022 on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office.

A thorough investigation has been carried out by detectives. They concluded that the evidence did not meet the threshold set by Crown Prosecutors.

The man has been informed he will face no further action“.
