No action against man in Hamiltons case

No action will be taken against a man who was arrested along with Neil and Christine Hamilton.

It follows allegations of serious sexual assault made by Nadine Milroy-Sloan.

The Hamiltons were arrested over the allegations by Ms Milroy-Sloan in August but were later cleared by police.

Ms Milroy-Sloan had accused Barry Lehaney, 61, of raping her in a flat in Ilford while the Hamiltons subjected her to sexual acts.

The Crown Prosecution Service says no further action will be taken against him.

Mr Lehaney has lodged a complaint about Ms Milroy-Sloan with the Metropolitan Police, his solicitor Nick Freeman said.

The complaint says there should be a criminal investigation into whether she perverted the course of justice.

Mr Lehaney is also considering whether to sue Ms Milroy-Sloan, he said.

Mr Freeman said: "He has mixed emotions, he is feeling extremely relieved but also extremely angry.

"The inquiry lasted just over seven months under the full glare of publicity which was not of his own making."
