John Travolta’s Accuser Dropped by Lawyer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The first masseur who accused John Travolta of sexual assault has reportedly been dropped by his lawyer.
The accuser - known only as John Doe # 1 - filed a $2 million dollar lawsuit against the Pulp Fiction actor claiming he made unwanted sexual advances towards him in Los Angeles on January 16, but after the masseur admitted earlier today that he got the date of the alleged attack wrong he is no longer being represented by Los Angeles attorney Okorie Okorocha.
"Okorocha did not feel he could represent John Doe #1 going forward anymore and recommend him finding another lawyer," a source told RadarOnline.com.
But Okorocha will continue to represent a second masseur - who is known only as John Doe #2 - who has also made sexual assault claims against the star, although John's attorney Marty Singer has vehemently denied both allegations.
"He is still representing John Doe #2 and other alleged victims who are possibly coming forward," the source added.
After proof emerged that John, 58, was in New York on January 16, 2012, a source close to John Doe #1 revealed the masseur made a "miscalculation," which could lead to his lawsuit being altered, although other details are expected to remain the same.
"The lawsuit will likely be amended, but this doesn't change the facts of the lawsuit. John Doe #1 gave very specific information, and staff from the Beverly Hills Hotel will absolutely be included as witnesses in the case," the insider said.
