Kate Moss will not be charged

Kate Moss will not be charged over claims she took cocaine, said the Crown Prosecution Service.

The CPS said the film footage "provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others".

But the "precise nature" of the drug could not be established and there was "insufficient evidence" to prosecute.

The CPS said the Metropolitan Police had investigated the allegations involving events at a recording studio in Chiswick High Road, on the night of the 5/6 September.

CPS London's director of serious casework, Rene Barclay, said it had been a "protracted investigation" because crucial evidence was obtained through a court order and because of "the absence of Ms Moss from the UK for several months".

Mr Barclay continued: "Expert analysis of the footage, however, narrowed the possibilities down to three particular drugs - cocaine, ecstasy or amphetamine.

"But these three substances fall into two different legal categories of controlled drugs.

"To obtain a conviction, case law establishes that the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt, the legal category to which the substance being used belonged."
