Star's child molestation charges dropped

Superior Court Judge, Mitchell Beckloff ruled on Tuesday, May 26 that Wade Robson waited for too long to file a legal action.

Why is a dead man still dragged to court for sexual molestation?

The micheal jakson's estate has been cleared of it's recent child molestation charge raised by a Australian-born choreographer who accused the late King of Pop in 2013 of years of assault.

According to Superior Court Judge, Mitchell Beckloff's ruling on Tuesday, May 26, wade robsonwaited for too long to file a legal action hence his accusation was untimely and should be dismissed.

Robson had previously denied the pop superstar molested him and testified in Jackson’s defense at the singer’s criminal trial in 2005. Robson also spoke favorably about Jackson after the singer’s death in 2009, reports PageSix.

Nonetheless, Robson sued Jackson’s estate in May 2013 over the molestation allegations he once denied ever took place.

Robson's attorney, Maryann Marzano said Jackson molested her client for more than seven years. But Howard Weitzman, attorney for Jackson’s estate denied the allegations.

Robson’s attorney wrote in a statement that Beckloff’s ruling will be appealed, and the molestation claim will be pursued against Jackson’s business entities.

On the other hand, Jackson estate attorney praised the ruling and noted Robson’s previous testimony about Jackson.

Actress completes 125 hours of community service

The 'Mean Girls' star has finally ended the final term to her 2012 sentence for reckless driving.

Lindsay Lohan
has managed to finish her more than a hundred hours of community service in New York which was the final term to her 2012 sentence for reckless driving.

Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White confirmed the news on Wednesday, May 27. ''It looks like she’s completed her hours,'' he said.

His comments came one day before Lohan’s lawyer is scheduled to update a judge on the actress’ progress.

Lohan was under a deadline to complete the hours after Superior Court Judge Mark Young assured her there will be consequences if she missed another deadline on May 7 .

The 28-year-old star was ordered to redo 125 hours of service after White objected to her previous work in London, citing credit she received for meeting with fans of a stage production of “Speed-the-Plow.” However, she received credit for some of her work on the show, despite being assigned to a charity for underprivileged children and disabled adults.

If the judge ends Lohan’s case, it will be the first time in nearly eight years she has not been on probation in Los Angeles.

  A Kenyan lawyer has expressed interest in marrying President Barack Obama’s eldest daughter, Malia.

  Felix Kiprono has offered to pay a bride price of 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats to Obama for the hand of the first daughter.

  Kiprono also said, while speaking to The Nairobian, that what he feels for Malia is true love and not infatuation.

  “I got interested in her in 2008. As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price,” he said. 

  “People might say I am after the family’s money, which is not the case. My love is real. I am currently drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia accompany him for this trip. I hope the embassy will pass the letter to him. I will hand it over to the US Ambassador with whom we have interacted several times,” he added.

  Kiprono said that he’d be glad to discuss the issue with Obama in July when he visits Kenya.

  President Obama’s father was from Kenya while his mother was an American.
