A judge is dismissing most of the remaining charges against a Newport Beach surgeon and his girlfriend who were initially accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a series of women.
Signaling an end to the long-running, politically charged prosecution of a Newport Beach hand surgeon and his girlfriend who were initially accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a series of women they met in bars or other settings, a judge said Friday he will dismiss most of the remaining charges in the case.
"We are reviewing the court's ruling and will respond as appropriate in court," the Attorney General's media office said when asked for comment on the ruling. When she eventually met him, she was surprised when Riley came along since she thought she was going on a "date," but Robicheaux introduced Riley not as his girlfriend but as a "good friend from out of town."
It was still unclear when Robicheaux will enter his guilty plea to the remaining charges. The timing is complicated by the fact the alleged victim in the poisoning counts is in the Israeli military and is serving in the war against Hamas.At issue in the defense motion to dismiss the poisoning charges was whether the statute of limitations had already run.
