Lord of the Dance, Michael Flatley, who was falsely accused of rape by a former exotic dancer, has been vindicated. A Cook County Judge ordered the dancer to cooperate with Flatley's lawyers as they attempted to recover $11 million in damages from her.
Tyna Marie Robertson attempted to extort $30 million from the dancer alleging that he had sexually assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2002. Robertson seems to be quite familiar with sexual harassment lawsuits. She has filed a similar suit against a Chicago based doctor as well as a paternity suit against the American football star, Brian Urlacher.
Robertson had to be arrested at her home in an affluent suburb of Chicago after she failed to appear for a court date. The judge has issued her a warning saying that if she misses further court dates, he would have to put her in jail for six months, no questions asked.
On her part, Robertson claimed that she had not received any notice of the hearing.
Mr Flatley, a world renowned Riverdance star, was in Las Vegas in 2002 to promote the acquisition of his 'Lord of the Dance' show by the Venetian Casino. That's where he met Robertson. The star claims that his relationship with the dancer on the night of October 19 was entirely voluntary and consensual.
