John Travolta 'didn't pay off accusers'

Los Angeles - John Travolta did not pay off any of his sexual battery accusers.

A man known only as John Doe No 2 dropped his legal team just two days after John Doe No 1 dismissed his lawsuit.

However the Saturday Night Fever actor's legal representative insists the masseurs were not paid any sum of money back down, if even temporarily.

Marty Singer, told TMZ: "Not one penny has been paid nor do we have any intention to pay any money for these ridiculous and false claims."

Behaved inappropriately

The first accusers quit his case after pictures emerged of the Grease star in New York on 16 January, the date he was alleged to have behaved inappropriately with a worker in a Beverly Hills hotel.

A receipt which proved Travolta ate at a Mr Chow restaurant in the city helped back up that he was 4 000km from the location he was stated to have been in by the accuser.

John Doe No 2, has parted ways with lawyer Okorie Okorocha but may still pursue his case against the actor having hired a new attorney, Gloria Allred.

Allred told CNN: "We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit that was on file was dismissed without prejudice."
