"North Yorkshire Police can confirm that a 74-year-old man from Kingston upon Thames has been released without charge following an investigation into historic sexual abuse," a police statement read.
"Following a detailed investigation, evidence was presented to the Crown Prosecution Service and a decision was made not to proceed with the case.
"North Yorkshire Police take all allegations of sexual offences extremely seriously and will conduct thorough investigations."
North Yorkshire Police did not name Tarbuck in its statement.
The force said that victims who do not want to report incidents to the police can speak to the Bridge House Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) in York on 01904 669339, via email or through its website.
