A Los Angeles Police Department investigation into the singer began almost a year ago after the woman claimed he put the drug, known as “Molly,” in her drink as they dined at a downtown L.A. restaurant.

The woman claimed she woke up to find herself naked in the 39-year-old singer’s bed.

But after two rounds of investigations, prosecutors declined to file sex-related charges against Green, citing insufficient evidence. Green has previously denied any wrongdoing.
