洛杉矶法官驳回了斯莫基·罗宾逊对指控他性侵犯的女性提出5亿美元反诉讼中的谤索赔. A Los Angeles judge has dismissed defamation claims in Smokey Robinson’s $500 million countersuit against women who accused him of sexual assault. 法院裁定他们的公开指控涉及公共利益, 所以罗宾逊未能证明其真实恶意. The court ruled their public allegations involve matters of public interest, so Robinson failed to prove actual malice. 虽然有些指控仍在继续, 但被驳回的判决为原告们带来了重大障碍, 使他们的性侵犯案件能够进入审判阶段. While some claims remain, the dismissal clears a major hurdle for the accusers, allowing their sexual assault case to proceed toward trial.
