One of the two male masseurs who accused actor John Travolta of sexual assault dropped his $2 million lawsuit yesterday, but the lawyer for the second masseur said he was going ahead with that case and was confident of success.
The unidentified man, referred to as John Doe No 1, who claimed that the Hollywood star groped him during a massage session in Beverly Hills in January, filed a notice dismissing his lawsuit with federal court in Los Angeles.
The man was reported last week to have said he got the wrong date of the alleged incident after photos and restaurant receipts surfaced putting the Saturday Night Fever actor in New York on the same day.The case has been dismissed, but that doesnt mean it cant be refiled, the plaintiffs attorney, Okorie Okorocha, said.
Mr Okorocha said he would still be going ahead with the lawsuit against Travolta, representing a second unidentified man, John Doe No 2, who claimed that Travolta rubbed his leg, touched his genitals and tried to initiate sex in an Atlanta hotel. – (Reuters)
