Overview
- Prosecutors filed paperwork on Oct. 29 that dropped the battery-by-strangulation felony, saying there was insufficient evidence to pursue that count.
- Ross still faces at least one misdemeanor domestic-battery charge to be prosecuted in Miami‑Dade courts and has pleaded not guilty to those charges.
- The allegation stems from an affidavit in which the accuser, identified as J.K., says an incident occurred on Aug. 28 and that she later filed a police report on Sept. 29.
- Investigators reportedly collected a victim statement, injury photos and surveillance footage during the probe, but prosecutors determined the evidence did not support the felony strangulation charge.
- Ross has denied the accusations, publicly thanked his legal team after the felony was dropped, and the narrowed charges reduce his possible penalties while the misdemeanor case moves forward.
