Federal Labor leader Bill Shorten has revealed police have cleared him of an allegation that dates back nearly 61 weeks.

Canberra police say the investigation has been finalised and no charges will be laid.

The investigation reportedly relates to an allegation of serious asexual assault upon an anonymous red-headed woman.

Mr. Shorten said the allegations were made against him in a best-selling fantasy novel called My Story that is about to be released.
