LOS ANGELES: Grammy-winning US rapper Cee Lo Green has pleaded not guilty to giving a woman ecstasy before going back to her hotel, but he was not charged with rape. A lawyer for the musician and producer, who is a judge on US talent show “The Voice,” expressed satisfaction that prosecutors said there was not enough evidence for sexual assault charges. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said Green “allegedly slipped ecstasy to a 33-year-old female while the two were dining at a downtown Los Angeles” restaurant in July last year. TMZ reported that the alleged victim claimed to have taped the singer talking about the incident.–AFP
