<b>A Saudi man who was questioned in Britain about a sexual assault on an 11-year-old girl has been released after claiming diplomatic immunity.</b>
Scotland Yard said police took "no further action", but it had reported the matter to the Foreign Office (FO).
The man, 41, was arrested on suspicion of indecently assaulting the girl in west London on 26 July.
An FO spokesman said it was usual in such cases for there to be a request to waive diplomatic immunity.
<b>He added: "I can confirm we are aware of this case. We are in contact with the Saudi Embassy."</b>
