The Greater Manchester Police announced on Friday that the CPS
felt there was “insufficient evidence” to carry the case
forward.
A statement read: "Greater Manchester Police gathered the
evidence and compiled the case file for the Crown Prosecution
Service. The CPS has now taken the decision to take no further
action against the 19-year-old man arrested following an incident
at a city centre hotel on Tuesday, December 18, 2007."
Evans, now 20 and on-loan at Sunderland, was arrested after a
woman made an allegation of rape at the team's Christmas party at
the Great John Street hotel.
Manchester United had no comment to make about the decision not
to press charges against their player.
