Kid Rock to sue assault claimant

Kid Rock is suing the woman who claimed he assaulted her after prosecutors declined to press charges, alleging she filed a false police report.

Kid Rock is to sue the woman who claimed that he assaulted her at his home after a night of drinking. As previously reported, an unnamed twenty-eight year old woman filed a police report saying that Rock - aka Robert Ritchie - had invited her and a male companion back to his home to listen to music, and that when she had tried to leave, the musician had reacted angrily, and ejected her from his house in a physically violent manner.

However, due to the fact that the woman had no injuries, and given that reports from the witnesses differ wildly, prosecutors decided that there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case. Ritchie is therefore suing the woman for filing a false police report. His lawyer, Michael Novak says: "These allegations were taken very seriously by Kid Rock and he's not going to walk away".
