In breaking news this afternoon, former X Factor UK judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been charged with being concerned with the supply of Class A drugs.
The decision today, originally opened up after the singer introduced an undercover reporter to an alleged cocaine supplier, means Contostavlos will now appear in court at a later date.
Crown Prosecution Service’s Chief Prosecutor Baljit Ubhey said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised the Metropolitan Police Service to charge Tulisa Contostavlos, 25, with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs…. This charge relates to an investigation by The Sun newspaper between early March 2013 and 23 May 2013 which resulted in the supply of Class A drugs to an investigative journalist….This decision to prosecute was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors. We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest.”
Tulisa will now appear at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court on December 19th.
