It made big news when the transgendered individual, Vanessa Champagne Paris, was accused of threatening Caleb Orozco's sister with a knife. Well, tonight, Paris, who is known legally as Perfilio Rodriguez is now freed of that charge after today's hearing at the Magistrate's Court.
The case was called up for trial today by Magistrate Herbert Panton, and the complaint, Golda Orosco, Caleb's sister, was a no show. Her testimony was the main evidence against Paris because she was his accuser. She had also not reported for court at the last adjournment and Magistrate Panton already ruled that if she didn't show up today, he would strike it out.
So without any complainant, Magistrate Panton decided that in the interest of justice, Champagne Paris should be freed of this charge.
Champagne Paris continues to face a charge of burglary in the south, for which a trial is still pending.
