Sex attack: Man released without charge
A MAN arrested on suspicion of a sexual attack in Southend has been released without charge.
A young woman had reported she was sexually assaulted in Tylers Avenue on April 23.
Police arrested a 20-year-old Southend man before releasing him on bail.
Last month his bail was extended, but now a decision has been made to take no further action.
Detectives said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation.
