The first man who filed a shocking lawsuit accusing John Travolta of assault and sexual battery has been dropped by his legal counsel. The shocking move comes on the same day that Travolta’s accuser admitted he was wrong about the date of the alleged attack.
The Texas man who filed the lawsuit as John Doe #1 hired Los Angeles lawyer Okorie Okorocha to represent him but in a stunning turn of events, Okorocha is no longer handling his case. John Doe #1 claimed Travolta sexually assaulted him in Los Angeles on January 16, 21012 and said he could prove Travolta was in town then.
But Travolta’s attorney Marty Singer not only vehemently denied the charges, he also provided proof that his client was in New York on the day John Doe #1 claimed the assault took place. The accuser’s attorney decided on May 11 to drop him.
"Okorocha did not feel he could represent John Doe #1 going forward anymore and recommend him finding another lawyer," according to a source.
"Okorocha did not feel he could represent John Doe #1 going forward anymore and recommend him finding another lawyer," according to a source.
"He is still representing John Doe #2 other alleged victims who are possibly coming forward."
It has to be mentioned that Travolta's lawyer, Singer, , adamantly denied the incident took place since the lawsuit was filed, telling that he had definitive proof, including flight records and hotel receipts, that would show his client was not even in Los Angeles on January 16, 2012 when John Doe #1 said the assault took place in the Beverly Hills Hotel.
John Doe #1 has stated that his original date of January 16 was a "miscalculation" and that the alleged assault actually took place a few days earlier.
