An investigating judge from the Paris judicial court dismissed the director Luc Besson, AFP learned on Thursday from sources familiar with the matter.
The filmmaker has been accused of rape for more than three years by actress Sand Van Roy.
The magistrate followed the requisitions of the Paris prosecutor's office, which had demanded in early October the abandonment of the proceedings in this highly media affair.
The 62-year-old filmmaker, who has always disputed the facts, had not been indicted but only placed under the less incriminating status of assisted witness.
