(CelebNMusic247-News) Cee-Lo to be Acquitted of Sexual Assault Charge
Things will be looking a little brighter for The Voice judge Cee-Lo Green who is likely to be acquitted of the sexual assault charge, however a drug charge will stick.
To recap, last year Cee-Lo Green was being investigated on sexual assault charges, with a woman claiming that the Goodie Mob singer slipped ecstasy into her drink and proceeded to take advantage of her. It was reported back in November 2012 the Cee-Lo played the fence last year after he first admitted to sexual battery charge, and then flipped the script and denied the charges. Now a year later, Cee-Lo may finally been cleared on the charge, although another charge may stick.
Here’s the drop:
TMZ reports today that the L.A. County D.A. will clear Cee-Lo of the sexual assault charge today. Law enforcement sources say that there are problems with the woman’s initial story, (which was that the two hit a sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. before Cee-Lo drugged her), one of which is that the two had apparently already been dating and been intimate together before the incident occurred.
Cee-Lo apparently encouraged the D.A. to investigate the claims fully, and in the end, the D.A. will reject the case because of insufficient evidence. However, Cee-Lo may not be getting off that easy, because he will be charged with 1 count for furnishing ecstasy, which is a felony charge that he may be arraigned with as early as this afternoon.
The woman claimed to have a taped recording of Cee-Lo talking about the alleged incident. Although sources say that Cee-Lo never said anything on record about slipping the girl the drug, he did reportedly reference the drug, which seems to be good enough as a confession for the D.A.
This is Cee-Lo’s first offense, so he’ll likely get off with probation.
