Reality TV Doctor and Girlfriend Cleared of Sexual Assault Charges

A California judge has dismissed sex charges against reality TV doctor Dr. Grant Robicheaux and his girlfriend Cerissa Riley, who were accused of drugging and raping women. The judge determined that there was not sufficient evidence to proceed to trial on the sex charges. The couple still faces drug charges and is scheduled to appear in court on July 19. The case gained international attention in 2018 and was mired in a political battle between Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and his predecessor Tony Rackauckas. Spitzer sought to dismiss the charges, citing insufficient evidence, and the case was later handed over to the state attorney general's office.
