US prosecutors have dropped domestic violence charges against Rick and Morty co-creator and voice actor Justin Roiland.

Charges involving an ex-girlfriend were dismissed "due to a lack of sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt", a spokeswoman for Orange County district attorney told the Associated Press.

Roiland tweeted the word "justice", and said: "I'm still deeply shaken by the horrible lies reported about me."

He said he wanted to "move forward".

He added: "I'm so disappointed that so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to bypass due process and have me 'cancelled'.

"That it may have succeeded, even partially, is shameful."
