Crispin Blunt, a former UK justice minister, faced a police investigation on suspicion of rape that concluded with Surrey Police stating there was "insufficient evidence to proceed". Blunt was arrested in October 2023, after which he expressed confidence in his innocence and pledged to fully cooperate with authorities. Although cleared, two other men remain under investigation for drug-related offenses. Blunt, who served as Conservative MP for Reigate and held significant roles in Parliament, has previously faced scrutiny for defending a convicted MP. He has since distanced himself from the Conservative party and chose not to run in the upcoming general election.
Surrey Police announced there was "insufficient evidence" to continue with the investigation against Crispin Blunt, marking the end of legal scrutiny over the allegations.
Crispin Blunt expressed his confidence that he would not be charged and stated his intention to "co-operate fully" with the investigation during this tumultuous time.
