SAN DIEGO - No charges will be filed in the case of a woman who claimed she was raped on the set of MTV’s “The Real World,” the San Diego County district attorney’s office said.

A 22-year-old woman, who was not a cast or crew member on the popular reality show, told police in November 2003 she believed she was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a cast member.

The woman told police she blacked out after accepting a drink from the man at a downtown San Diego nightclub. She woke up fully clothed in the guest bedroom of “The Real World” house in San Diego’s Point Loma neighborhood.

San Diego police seized footage taped for the show, along with bedding, towels and couch cushions. No arrests were made.

Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office, said Wednesday there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.
