The dancers said they managed to make a night-time escape from the villa in June 2006, and have not returned to their country since for fear of reprisals.

The accusation’s entire case fell apart,” his lawyer Emmanuel Marsigny said after the ruling.It was not the first time Olomide had been charged with violence.
