Batman star Christian Bale will not face charges relating to an alleged assault last month on his mother and sister, prosecutors said yesterday, suggesting their decision was based in part on the family members’ wishes.

Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to afford a “realistic prospect of conviction,” and ordered police not to take any further action. Bale, who denies the allegation, said through his spokeswoman, Jennifer Allen, that he was relieved the issue had been settled.

The actor “hopes to put the matter firmly behind him” and will be providing no further comment, Allen said in a statement released by Bale’s lawyers. His family had previously declined to comment, saying the issue was a personal matter.
