US detectives gave prosecutors the results of their investigation into domestic violence allegations against Mel Gibson.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the results were turned over for a decision on whether charges will be filed.

Detectives investigated claims made against the Academy Award-winner by his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

Gibson spokesman Alan Nierob declined comment in an e-mail message.

Detectives also were examining claims by Gibson that Ms Grigorieva attempted to extort him. Mr Whitmore said that investigation has not been completed.
