Britney Spears won't face a criminal charge over a battery accusation from her housekeeper after the Ventura County District Attorney office, in California, found there was insufficient evidence because of a "lack of injury to the housekeeper or significant damage to the phone."

District Attorney Erik Nasarenko made the announcement Wednesday (Sept 1) after what he describes as a thorough review of the Aug 16 incident by the supervisor of the misdemeanour crimes unit.
