Nick Gordon’s Domestic Abuse Charges Filed by Current Girlfriend Are Dropped

Nick Gordon is not going to be facing jail time for allegedly physical abusing his current girlfriend Laura Leal.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Nick Gordon’s current girlfriend is refusing to press charges, forcing prosecutors in Florida to drop charges.

The Daily Mail writes:

Nick Gordon, who was held legally responsible for the death of then-girlfriend Bobbi Kristina Brown in 2015, will not go to court over claims that he beat another of his partners in June.

Laura Leal, 26, accused Gordon, 21, of pinning her to a bed and punching her for hours in a drink-and-drug-fueled rage in Sanford, Florida.

But now DailyMail.com has learned that prosecutors have dropped charges against Gordon – because Leal told the judge directly she wanted the case shut down.

Gordon was arrested after an alleged altercation at their home in Arbor Lakes Apartments on June 10, and police had wanted to charge him with felony false imprisonment.

But prosecutors said the evidence wasn’t going to hold up in court, and the charge was downgraded to misdemeanor assault and battery.

According to an official document seen by DailyMail.com, Leal, who in June called Gordon ‘psychotic,’ had initially been helpful with the police’s investigation.

However, it said, ‘Leal became unhappy with the criminal justice process’ and started harranguing police to get them to drop the case.

She then put down her demands in writing – first in a written statement that she didn’t want to continue prosecution, and then by writing directly to the judge in charge of the case.
