Mel Gibson won't be charged after police found no evidence supporting the Sydney photographer's allegations.
As per USA Today, Chris Murphy, Gibson's Sydney lawyer confirmed that he was informed through email by Inspector Paul Grace of New South Wales Police, that "no action will be taken" against his client.
Murphy said, "Police have completed a thorough investigation of allegations made by a Sydney photographer (Kristi Miller of the Daily Telegraph) and have concluded there is no evidence to substantiate any charge against my client Mel Gibson."
Last month, Miller claimed that Gibson allegedly pushed and verbally abused her on Aug 23. The tirade allegedly happened, after she took pictures of the actor and his girlfriend, Rosalind Ross while leaving a movie theater.
Alan Nierob, Gibson's Los Angeles publicist said authorities investigated the alleged incident and reviewed the CCTV footage. However, investigator found no evidence to support Miller's accusation.
Nierob added, "Mel Gibson has totally denied from the onset that these disgraceful allegations were true. He is now satisfied that the police, after speaking to witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage and other evidence, have found there is no substance to the claim. The story is a complete fabrication of the truth as stated previously."
Meanwhile, Gibson reportedly hired a leading Aussie defamation attorney, Mark O'Brien. He will be suing the Daily Telegraph as well as Miller, who claimed that the actor attacked her.
"I thought he was going to punch me in the face," Miller told the Daily Telegraph. "He was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I'm not even a human being and I will go to hell. He swore and called me a c**t. It was non-stop, he didn't even breathe."
But Daily Telegraph is not backing down.
Paul Whittaker, Telegraph editor said in a statement, "The Daily Telegraph stands 100 per cent behind Kristi and her account of the events of that night."
