Moss won’t face any drug charges
British prosecutors said Thursday they would not charge Kate Moss on allegations of cocaine use.
The investigation began after the Daily Mirror published pictures in September of the 32-year-old supermodel apparently using cocaine in a West London music studio.
Rene Barclay, the Crown Prosecution Service’s London director of serious casework, said there was an “absolutely clear indication” that Moss had been using an illegal substance but that “its precise nature could not be established.” He added: “Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eyewitnesses also declined to provide evidence.”
A spokeswoman for Moss declined to comment. She lost contracts with H&M;, Burberry and Chanel after the photos were published but her career seems to have suffered no lasting damage.
