Police have released the former Hove MP Ivor Caplin under investigation after his arrest on suspicion of engaging in online sexual communications with a child 10 months ago.
The former defence minister was previously on bail, waiting to learn whether he would face any charges further to his arrest.
His arrest was mentioned during a court case last week when former newspaper editor Greg Hadfield, 69, was found not guilty of sending a pornographic tweet.
Hadfield’s defence was that he was highlighting the former MP’s public online pornographic activity as a journalist and asking why his party, Labour, had not acted previously on his behaviour.
Sussex Police said: “A 67-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of engaging in online sexual communications with a child on Saturday 11 January has been released under investigation following an application to extend his bail.”
