'Lack of information' | |
Surrey Police said although they had recorded an incident no allegation had been made and they were unlikely to investigate the claim unless Ms Price co-operated with officers. | |
A spokesman added: "Surrey Police treats all reports of sexual offences very seriously and investigates them thoroughly, encouraging anyone who may have been a victim to come forward and providing specialist officers to support them. | |
"Based on our enquiries and the lack of substantiated information - particularly around locations and dates of any allegations - we have recorded an incident, but due to its very historic nature we are dependent on Miss Price's co-operation to formally record a crime and continue any investigation." | |
The force said that if any new information came to light it would be investigated. | |
