Charge dropped in Perez Hilton assault case
Posted November 17, 2009 10:00 pm
TORONTO -- Lawyers say assault charges against Black Eyed Peas manager Liborio Molina, accused of punching celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, have been dropped.
Molina allegedly punched Hilton outside a Toronto nightclub last summer after a video awards show.
As part of an agreement read in court Wednesday, Molina has written a letter of apology to Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira.
Molina has also agreed not to contact Hilton except through his lawyer and cannot carry any weapons for 12 months.
He is also prohibited from coming within 100 yards of the nightclub where the dispute took place and must donate $500 Canadian (US$476) to charity.
