SANTA ANA (CNS) - An Orange County Superior Court judge today granted a motion by prosecutors to dismiss charges related to two alleged rape victims in the case against a Newport Beach hand surgeon and his girlfriend, who are accused in drugging and sexually assaulting several women.
Prosecutors from the Attorney General s Office have said previously they wanted to chip down charges to one alleged victim in the case against Dr. Grant Robicheaux, 40, and Cerissa Laura Riley, 34. Robicheaux was charged initially with seven alleged victims and Riley with five.
The Attorney General s Office took over prosecution of the case last year when another Orange County Superior Court judge removed Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer s office from the case.

Judge Suspends Criminal Proceedings Against Alleged Mass Shooter, Orders Mental Exam
An Orange County, Calif. judge suspended court proceedings July 8 against Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez, the man accused of killing four people and injuring another, pending a mental competency evaluation.
The proceedings marked Gonzalez’s first court appearance since a March 31 mass shooting in Orange that ended when he was shot in the head by police. He could be seen in court behind a barrier in a wheelchair, wearing a white helmet.
Ken Morrison, Gonzalez’s attorney, said during the proceedings that he doesn’t believe Gonzalez is currently competent enough to assist counsel in his own defense. He’s likely unable to understand the nature of the criminal proceedings against him, Morrison said.
