Jude Law has reportedly been cleared of allegations that he assaulted a female photographer earlier this year.

The Sherlock Holmes actor was allegedly pictured lashing out at a female member of the paparazzi as he exited a London nightclub in July.

Law was accused of striking Harsha Gopal on the head and slapping her face as she attempted to take his picture, though his lawyer always maintained that the claims were “nonsense”, Contactmusic reports.

The star explained that he had been blinded by the camera flashes and as he held out his arm to shield his eyes, he accidentally struck one of the photographers.

In a statement, a spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service said: “A careful analysis of the specific evidence in this case, which included photographs and eye witness statements, indicates that Mr Law had no intention to assault anyone.

“While Mr Law accepted that he may have come into contact with someone while attempting to make his way to his car, it is highly likely that a court would decide his actions were reasonable given that his path was deliberately impeded by a crowd of photographers.”

Jude Law doesn’t even remember the mother-to-be of his fourth child.

A friend of Samantha Burke – who is pregnant with the star’s baby following a brief romance last year – claims the American model hasn’t seen or been in personal contact with the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor since he left New York.

The unnamed pal told E! Online: “She met him at a club in New York. He was sick, so she kept going to his hotel over the course of a week to take care of him.

“But Jude didn’t even remember her. She hasn’t seen him since New York. They’ve only been in contact through their lawyers.”

The friend also said she believes Samantha, 24, is “crazy” to go through with the pregnancy.

Samantha recently denied she is a ‘gold digger’ who is only after Jude’s money.

The brunette beauty wrote on her blog: “I can’t tell you how far from a gold digger I am. I’ve never dated a rich man in my life. I’ve always wondered how girl friends of mine could even ask their boyfriends to buy them clothes.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I was scared. I didn’t jump for joy because I ‘hit the jackpot’ – I cried.”

Samantha has reportedly made a request for $10,000 a month in maintenance for the child, which she plans to call Sophia, and is due in October. (Cause is TOTALLY costs $10K a month to raise a child!)

Jude, 36, has previously said he will be a “fully supportive part of the child’s life”.

He already has three children with his ex-wife Sadie Frost, Rafferty, 12, Iris, eight, and six-year-old Rudy.
