The charges against WWE star Heath Slater were dropped yesterday as the Judge presiding over the case agreed that the statue of limitations for the alleged victim, Corrine Oliver, to press charges had passed.

Oliver first claimed in June 2011 that over Wrestlemania weekend in April of that year that Slater had allegedly grabbed her in a chokehold as she escorted him away from fans during the Wrestlemania afterparty and tried to force her to his room, but she was able to get away. WWE wrestlers who worked for the company at the time shot down the story, noting it was the exact same day Slater got engaged to his fiancee, who was with him Mania weekend.

Charges were never filed until last year. Slater publicly denied all charges.
