Epsom Rape Probe Closed

The initial report had triggered widespread public disorder in the town, with protesters clashing with police and attempting to vandalize local hotels housing migrants.

Detectives spent a week reviewing CCTV and forensic evidence before determining that the allegations were unfounded.

Police have condemned the 'shameful' behavior of those who used the report as a pretext for violence.

The force emphasized that while they take all reports seriously, this specific case has been definitively resolved without any criminal charges.
