Christian Bale Will Not Be Charged with Assault
Posted on August 14, 2008 at 11:40 am (PST)
Christian Bale will not be charged over claims of assault following a July 20 London disagreement with his mother and sister, who provoked a conflict when they asked him for £100,000 ($186,788) on the night of a big Batman premiere.
Prosecutors at England’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have reviewed the case, and determined it is not in the public interest nor is there sufficient evidence to gain a conviction. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said:
"On the advice of the CPS we shall be taking no further action. We will not be commenting further."
The CPS released a statement Thursday about the case saying:
"We can today confirm that we have advised the Metropolitan Police Service that the actor Christian Bale should not face any charges following an incident which occurred in relation to his mother and sister at the Dorchester hotel on 21 July this year."
"Whilst the CPS treats all incidents which take place in a domestic context seriously, it is important that the views of complainants are also taken into account when making decisions in such cases."
"Taking all the factors into consideration, the decision has been taken that there is insufficient evidence to afford a realistic prospect of conviction, and accordingly the police have been advised that no further action should be taken against Mr. Bale."
Hopefully Bale will distance himself now from his greedy mother and sister.
