US state prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss most sex crime charges filed against a reality TV doctor and his girlfriend, who are accused of drugging and raping several women at their Southern California home.
The attorney general's office, which took over the case from the Orange County district attorney's office last year, filed a motion asking for dismissal of 10 charges involving six of the seven alleged victims.
"We have no reason to believe that any of these victims are being untruthful", but a review found that some allegations couldn't be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecutor said.
