Kiwi journalist Dan Wootton is no longer being investigated following alleged sexual offences.
Wootton was sacked by MailOnline after being suspended by right-wing TV channel GB News in September last year.
The Guardian reported Wootton was paid a six-figure salary in return for two MailOnline columns a week.
Wootton had been suspended from working for MailOnline when several allegations emerged that he used a pseudonym to offer colleagues significant amounts of cash for sexual material.
The allegations related to the presenter's time at The Sun, a tabloid owned by News UK.
But now, police have dropped their investigations against the 40-year-old.
The Telegraph have reported that a police spokesperson said: "Officers assessed all information available to establish whether any criminal offence has taken place.
"An investigation was commenced into these allegations. All parties involved have now been advised that no further action will be taken. There were no arrests during the investigation."
In a statement published by his lawyer, Wootton said: "I have now been completely cleared in two investigations by the Metropolitan and Scottish police, who have confirmed they will be taking no further action.
"While I knew this would always be the outcome, the process is now the punishment, with social media acting as the executioner.
"Margaret Thatcher once said that if you ever get trial by media, or guilt by accusation, that day freedom dies.
"She was right. It's high time that all of our ancient rights were once again upheld, chief among them the right to be presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.
"If it falls to me to be the champion of those rights, then so be it. It is a fight I am more than willing to take up, not just for me but for all of us," the Telegraph reported.
