Hollywood heartthrob Jude Law has been cleared of claims he assaulted a
photographer.
The actor was arrested last month (Sep07) after allegedly attacking a
paparazzo outside his London home. He was questioned by police and
released on bail.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided not to pursue charges
against him.
Law tells People.com, "The police have told me that they and the
CPS have examined the photographer's allegation extremely carefully and
made the decision that there is no further action to be taken.
"Of course I am delighted to be vindicated."
A police statement confirms, "No further action will be taken and
he will not be required to return on bail."
The star always disputed the allegations against him. His lawyer said
in a statement last month, "Mr. Law provided the police with a
statement regarding his denials of allegations by a 'paparazzi'
photographer against him and made his own allegations concerning the
photographer."
