Esai Morales Will Not Be Charged With Rape
Former ‘NYPD Blue’ and ‘My Family, Mi Familia’ actor Esai Morales has dodged the biggest bullet: The LA County District Attorney’s Office will not file rape charges against the actor. Morales’ former girlfriend, Elizabeth Mazzocchi brought the allegations to the prosecutor’s office in 2007 and now has a pending civil lawsuit still active against the actor.
The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office rejected the case on Feb. 13, citing lack of evidence, spokeswoman Shiara M. Davila said.
“I’m happy that my client was vindicated,” Morales’ attorney, Richard Charnley, said Friday. “He was never questioned by the police, never taken into custody, there were never any charges brought against him.”
Morales’ former girlfriend, Elizabeth Mazzocchi, alleged that he raped her in April 2006. Morales has denied committing any crime, Charnley said. He also noted that Mazzocchi continued to live with Morales for months after the alleged rape.
Generally rape victims are not identified by major press orgainizations, however Mazzocchi has held press conferences and been vocal in her pursuit of the allegations.
