Benny Medina Off the Hook in Second Rape Case


Last November actor Jason Dottley came forward claiming manager Benny Medina tried to rape him ten years ago [click here if you missed that].

In a shocking turn of events the DA just rejected a separate rape case filed against Medina...

From Variety
Prosecutors on Friday declined to file charges against Benny Medina, the music manager best known for representing Jennifer Lopez.
Medina was accused of sexually assaulting a man in 2004. According to the District Attorney’s office, the case fell outside the statute of limitations. Complicating matters further, the D.A. said the complaining party recently died. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.
In November, actor Jason Dottley alleged that Medina tried to rape him in 2008. Dottley told the Advocate that Medina invited him and a friend to his home, and then forced Dottley onto a bed and tried to sexually assault him. The friend, who was also interviewed, confirmed the account, and said Medina was on top of Dottley when he walked into the bedroom. Medina denied the allegation at the time.
The LAPD appears to have investigated an account that was not previously reported.
