Four men arrested in connection with the projection of a huge image of Donald Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on to Windsor Castle are to face no further action, police said.
The stunt at the Berkshire royal residence took place on the evening ahead of the official start of the US president’s historic second state visit in September.
A 60-year-old man from East Sussex, a 36-year-old man from London, a 37-year-old man from Kent and a 50-year-old man from London were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications in connection with the incident.
On Wednesday, a Thames Valley Police (TVP) spokesman said: “The investigation into four men arrested in connection with an unauthorised projection on to Windsor Castle has concluded and no further action will be taken against them.”
The spokesman said the “individuals were arrested on suspicion of offences including malicious communications and public nuisance”.
The nine-minute film created by British political campaign group Led By Donkeys went over the history of the US president’s links to Epstein, including the recent release by US legislators of documents said to include a letter from Mr Trump to the paedophile financier to celebrate his 50th birthday.
The film was projected from a hotel room with a direct view over the castle as an act of “peaceful protest”, a spokesman for the campaign group said in September.
