Slater Cleared Of Groping Charges

Christian Slater has been vindicated from allegations that he has wandering hands. The charges were dismissed by a New York judge after the star had been accused of grabbing a woman on the street during an argument with his girlfriend. "The case is over. I'm thrilled," said Slater. "I'm glad that the prosecution felt the case was worthy of dismissal... It just shows that someone can accuse you of anything." A fact Empire's beleaguered writing team knows all too well.
