Police interview supermodel Moss over cocaine allegations

SUPERMODEL Kate Moss was interviewed under caution by police yesterday over allegations of cocaine use.

The 32-year-old attended a police office in central London for a short meeting with detectives.

She left the building in a silver Mercedes at 3.30pm.

After the meeting, Scotland Yard said: “She has not been charged or cautioned and inquiries continue.”

She was not arrested at any stage.

A spokeswoman added: “A file will eventually be submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service depending on the entirety of the investigation.”

A spokesperson for Moss’s model agency, Storm, said she had spent about 80 minutes with the officers.

“Kate Moss voluntarily reported to the police to assist their investigation as she has always said she would when she returned to this country,” the agency said.

Asked about her case, the CPS said: “We continue to work closely with the police and once they have concluded their investigation we will await a formal request for a decision.”

Moss was engulfed in a furore when the video footage of her allegedly using the drug first emerged last year. The mother-of-one was allegedly with her ex-boyfriend, troubled musician Pete Doherty, at the time.

She lost contracts with H&M and Burberry but later released a statement in which she admitted “full responsibility” for her actions.

She went into rehab in Arizona, and is now thought to be making plans to settle in Los Angeles.

One of Scotland Yard’s most senior officers, Tarique Ghaffur, had appealed earlier this month for her to return to Britain and tell police “her side of the story.”

Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Ian Blair issued a warning to middle-class cocaine users when he took over the job last February.

He promised to make an example of casual users who thought it was “socially acceptable” to snort the drug at dinner parties or on a night out clubbing.

In the wake of the allegations against Moss, Mr Blair, while not talking specifically about her case, said: “We have to look at the impact of this kind of behaviour on impressionable young people and if there is evidence something should be done about it.

“I can remember being asked a question about a previous individual who was given a caution. I think that was a wrong decision.”

In September 2004, Diana Princess of Wales’s former lover James Hewitt was let off with a caution for possession of cocaine.
