Epsom rape claims found 'baseless'

Detectives conducted extensive CCTV reviews and forensic examinations but found no corroborating evidence for the assault outside a church on Ashley Road.

Police officials met privately with protest organizers to provide reassurances and clarify that there was no evidence of asylum seeker involvement.

The force criticized the spread of 'misinformation' on social media, which they said had caused unnecessary fear and community tension.

While the investigation remains technically open, authorities have urged the public to refrain from further speculation.
