Officers from Operation Yewtree, set up to investigate historical claims of sexual abuse, have released a 65-year-man without charge.
The unnamed man was arrested in February on suspicion of sexual offences but has been released by the Metropolitan police who say there is insufficient evidence to prosecute.
A Metropolitan Police statement said: "The decision was made by the police that there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
"There was early investigative consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service but, in accordance with the director of public prosecution's guidance on charging, the police did not submit the case for full CPS advice to decide the outcome."
