Nelly's Rape Case Is Still Open After Accuser Requests To End Investigation Skip to main content

Jennifer Lopez Just Served Up the Ultimate Fashion #TBT

Posted by
Jennifer Lopez has come a long way since she was Jenny from the Block, not least of all in her fashion sense. These days, her wardrobe is more polished than streetwise, but every now and then, she’ll throw it back in a look that magically combines both. That’s what she did earlier this afternoon when she stepped out in New York wearing a heather grey tracksuit that felt like a modern, grown-up take on the bubblegum-pink Juicy Couture velour separates she made famous in her 2001 music video, “I’m Real.” Lopez’s sweats were trimmed in a metallic side stripe, which elongated the silhouette and added a diva-appropriate touch of shine. She kept the tone-on-tone message going with silver mirrored shades and suede ankle booties with exposed zippers. The choice of shoe felt more sophisticated than a sneaker, and she took that idea and ran with it by carrying her trusty  Hermès Birkin  instead of a gym tote.

Nelly's Rape Case Is Still Open After Accuser Requests To End Investigation

Posted by

Police are still investigating Nelly's rape accusation.

News broke a few weeks ago that Nelly was accused of raping a college girl on his tour bus. The saga that followed it was typical for any celebrity who gets accused of such a heinous act. He spoke out after the allegations surfaced and continued to maintain his innocence. He even had celebrity friends who attested to his innocence as well. Last week, reports came out that said his accuser wanted the investigation dropped. She refused to testify against the rapper in court, as well. However, that doesn't seem to be enough for the police to put a halt to the investigation.
Police are continuing their investigation on Nelly despite the fact that the alleged victim wanted the case to drop, TMZ reports. Their law enforcement sources in Washington State are saying that the Auburn PD are continuing their investigation and planning to gather all the evidence needed to bring the case to the prosecutor's office. They also report that the police in Auburn are looking to bring the case to the prosecutor within the next week. The fact that the alleged victim isn't looking to testify against Nelly doesn't make it impossible for him to be prosecuted but it does make the case more difficult to follow through with.
Nelly's attorney has continued to maintain his client's innocence and said that he has confidence that the case will be closed upon full review of the evidence presented in court. He continued to say, "I would expect the police to do their due diligence."
The way this case has been evolving over the past few weeks have been relatively strange. On Friday, the accuser's attorney told the Auburn P.D. and the King County D.A. that her client didn't want to pursue the case against Nelly. Multiple factors were considered in this decision. Her attorney said her client felt the system failed her due to the fact that she's unable to stand up against someone of Nelly's public stature as well as the fact that the police disclosed that she'd already met with them to the media, which she was promised they wouldn't.
