Detectives investigating reports of a rape in Epsom have “not found any evidence of the offence as reported” or “any evidence that asylum seekers or immigrants were involved”, Surrey Police said.
The news comes after a woman in her 20s is reported to have been followed and assaulted outside the church in Ashley Road after leaving Labyrinth Epsom nightclub on Saturday (11 April 2026).
A protest was held on Wednesday (15 April) evening in Epsom town centre to demand more information from police about the alleged incident, including details about the suspects.
Dozens of police officers were wearing helmets and holding shields, with objects appearing to be thrown at them.
The protest was promoted online by Danny Tommo, a former associate of right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.
Assistant Chief Constable for Local Policing, Sarah Grahame, has today (Thursday 17 April) released a statement:
"Over the past week, there has been widespread speculation and commentary regarding this report. We are aware of the strength of feeling this has created, and of the frustration caused by our limited public comment on the matter.
"During this time, we have been investigating in depth to establish the sequence of events and to clarify the circumstances surrounding the reported incident. We have reviewed an extensive amount of CCTV footage from the area. We have also been interviewing potential witnesses, carrying out forensics investigations and conducting house-to-house enquiries.
"To date, we have not found any evidence of the offence as reported but the investigation is ongoing.
"There has been much speculation about the non-release of a description of any suspects, especially regarding the ethnicity. No descriptions have been released as the information about the incident and potential suspects is so limited. To address the specific commentary, there is no evidence that asylum seekers or immigrants were involved."
If you have any information or any CCTV, dashcam, or helmet camera footage, you are being asked to contact police online, or via 101 quoting PR/45260041426.
Police say there will be an increased police presence in Epsom over the weekend.
