Police investigating an alleged rape in Suffolk have said they are confident the incident did not take place.

A Suffolk police spokeswoman said: "It can be confirmed that she was not the victim of rape or any other crime."

No further action will be taken against a 22-year-old man arrested on suspicion of rape on 7 March, police said.
