Flatley Wins Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Tyna Marie Robertson
Tyna Marie Robertson who accused dancer Michael Flatley of sexual assault has been ordered to pay him more than $11 million for making false allegations to extort money from him, according to documents obtained Monday.
Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern found that real estate agent Tyna Marie Robertson had defamed and intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon Flatley, 49, who appeared in "Riverdance," "Lord of the Dance," "Feet of Flames" and "Celtic Tiger."
Robertson had alleged Flatley raped her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2002 and threatened to sue unless he agreed to pay a "seven figures" settlement, according to court papers.
Police declined to press criminal charges, and Flatley said the sex was consensual.Robertson then filed a $33 million lawsuit in Illinois alleging sexual assault, but it was dismissed.
