A 14-year-old girl whose on-air rape claims led to the suspension of the Kyle And Jackie O radio show has told police she does not want the alleged rape investigated.
NSW Police said they had called off the investigation after the girl told them yesterday that she did not want it to continue.
The radio show caused a shock last week when the girl revealed on air that she had been raped when she was 12.
The revelations were made during a segment in which the now 14-year-old was strapped to a lie detector and asked by her mother about her sex life.
The controversial segment led to a huge public backlash against the show's hosts - Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson.
The show has since been suspended and Sandilands has been dumped from his role as an Australian Idol judge.
The day after the controversial segment, police and the Department of Community Services said they were looking into whether a criminal investigation into the rape allegation was necessary.
The girl was interviewed by police in the presence of her mother on July 31, a police spokeswoman said.
But now that the girl had told police not to continue the investigation, police had to drop the case, the spokeswoman said.
Henderson appears to have gone into hiding in the wake of her radio show's suspension.
