Was Moss set up?

Supermodel Kate Moss is likely to dodge criminal charges over her alleged cocaine-snorting session last year, as police have failed to find any witnesses willing to give evidence against her.

The troubled 32-year-old came under fire in September when a newspaper published images purporting to show her taking the drug in London studio Metropolis, where her on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty was recording with his band Babyshambles.

The Crown Prosecution Service will decide within the next 10 days whether to charge her.

Moss was interviewed by police under caution in January, but reportedly refused to answer questions regarding the allegations.

It is believed enough evidence has been gathered against Moss to convict her, but police are concerned the case will never come to court.

A police source tells London newspaper the Evening Standard, "It's a no-win situation. If she is prosecuted people will say, 'Why pick on her and not the thousands of other drug users in London?'

"If she isn't prosecuted it is seen as a waste of money and proof that celebrities can get away with anything."

The police are concerned Moss was 'set up' by a music industry insider. It is rumoured the Daily Mirror newspaper paid up to GBP150,000 (US$262,500) for the mobile phone footage which broke the scandal.

Duh. Of course she was set up. Of course no witnesses will come forward. Are cops getting stupider than usual or something?

This is such bullcrap, she should be punished for what she did! Same with her nasty junkie boyfriend.

Maybe they should torture Doherty until she confesses.

(Hey, it worked at Abu Ghraib...)

Lol something tells me that wouldn't really wash.

She should be punished for what she did? For snorting lines? I'm with those who say why not go after the millions of others who take drugs as well then...which, by the way, I don't think should be done. Drug use is a personal issue.

Well isn't this interesting.....

I agree with you Buttmuch, but all the same she's a public figure and if she gets away with doing something illegal then it doesn't set a good principal for "ordinary" druggies, they'll think they can all get away with it too.

Of course no ones gonna rat her out, even with evidence. They just dont get kicked off riding on her coat tails.
