New South Wales Police Force says it will not proceed with an investigation into a historical rape allegation against a sitting cabinet minister in the federal government.
In a statement on Tuesday, the force said there was “insufficient admissible evidence to proceed” following the woman’s death.
The incident is alleged to have occurred in 1988 when the woman was 16.
The woman went to NSW police last year, but the investigation was suspended when she took her own life in Adelaide in June 2020 after telling authorities she didn’t want to proceed.
More to come.
