The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) told Fox News on Wed that Tara Reade'south sexual set on complaint confronting Joe Biden is now "an inactive instance," although the department didn't provide additional details -- a upshot Reade said she expected from the get-go.

Reade filed a law report in Washington, D.C., on April 9, later publicly stating on March 25 that Biden had penetrated her with his fingers while she worked for him in the Senate in 1993. The document stated: "Subject-1 disclosed that she was the victim of a sexual set on which was committed past Subject-ii in 1993."

"This is an inactive case and at that place are no additional details to provide," MPD spokesperson Brianna Jordan told Fox News on Wednesday.

TIMELINE SHOWS MEDIA, DEMS TREATED KAVANAUGH Matter VERY DIFFERENTLY

Reade's claims were exterior of the range of Washington, D.C.'s statute of limitations for even the most severe sex crimes. Previously, though, the section had indicated it was looking into the matter.

"This is an agile, ongoing investigation that is part of our regular review process," MPD public diplomacy officer Kristen Metzger told The Daily Caller on April 22, noting that the matter had been transferred to the MPD sexual assault unit. Police force had launched the investigation as part of an "external review" process, despite the statute of limitations that bars any prosecution.

Reade told Fox News that she understood when she filed the complaint that the thing would not result in criminal charges.

"I've fabricated a police written report for prophylactic reasons merely," Reade said. "I am outside the criminal statute of limitations. However, past making that police study, information technology allows a mechanism for me to safety plan and work with a victim abet. I am willing to cooperate with any police force enforcement if there is whatever inquiry or investigation in the future."

Senate Democrats and media outlets have been generally silent on Reade's claims, even though they called for an immediate FBI investigation into claims against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. Reade, yet, has presented essentially more corroborating prove than Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

Biden himself hasn't addressed the allegation against him, and no i in the media has asked him well-nigh information technology during interviews. Representatives for Biden's campaign have denied the allegations, even as some Democrats have urged Biden to address the matter himself. On Wednesday, amid an increasing uproar, The Washington Post editorial board argued that Biden should at least release some records from his Senate career, currently held at the University of Delaware -- records that might evidence Reade had made a formal complaint against him.

COMPARING READE'Due south CASE TO CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD'S

Earlier Wed, The New York Times rebuked the Biden campaign, telling Fox News that the entrada was apparently circulating talking points to top Democrats that "inaccurately" described the paper'southward reporting. The talking points falsely claimed that the Times had disproven Reade's accusations, when it actually found some corroboration.

Business Insider, The Intercept, and Newsbusters have separately constitute additional contemporaneous corroboration for Reade'southward claims, including footage showing Reade'due south female parent calling into "Larry Male monarch Live" to discuss an incident involving her girl and a prominent senator.

The Times had earlier stealth-edited its coverage of the Biden accusations at the request of the Biden campaign. The paper specifically removed a section of its reporting referring to numerous other episodes in which Biden was accused of inappropriate touching -- including i instance in which he was caught on photographic camera touching young girls and making them visibly uncomfortable.

"I think that the [Biden] campaign thought that the phrasing was bad-mannered and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct," The Times' executive editor, Dean Baquet, admitted the day afterward the article was published.

According to a re-create of the Times' article saved by the Internet archive Wayback Auto, the Times originally reported: "No other accusation almost sexual set on surfaced in the grade of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members approve whatsoever details of Ms. Reade's accusation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, across the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable."

That paragraph now reads: "No other accusation nearly sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate whatsoever details of Ms. Reade's allegation. The Times institute no blueprint of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden."

Baquet also struggled to explicate why his newspaper had waited weeks to even report on Reade's allegations. Baquet implied that Kavanaugh was urgently in the public spotlight, while Biden -- who was locking up the Democratic presidential nomination every bit Reade'southward claim surfaced -- somehow was non in the public center.

"Kavanaugh was already in a public forum in a big way," Baquet said. "Kavanaugh was in a very different state of affairs. It was a live, ongoing story that had become the biggest political story in the country. Information technology was simply a dissimilar news judgment moment."

Biden has previously said he would alter his interactions with women going frontwards, but stopped short of apologizing for his conduct.
