Source – The parents of a teenage girl who was sexually assaulted last year in the home of Nick Nolte have sued the actor for negligence, claiming that he was aware minors were using alcohol and drugs during parties at the family’s Malibu home.
According to the below Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, the girl, who was 15 at the time of the January 2003 incident, was assaulted after she was given the date-rape drug GHB by partygoer Nicholas Woodring and an unnamed minor.
Woodring, 22, was originally charged with several felonies, including rape, but pleaded in March to a single misdemeanor count of having sex with a minor. He was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation.
The lawsuit claims that Nolte is liable for unspecified damages because he was “aware of the propensity” of a resident security officer and one underage partygoer to provide “alcohol and/or drugs to minor children.” The complaint also notes that Nolte was aware of “the use of these intoxicating substances for the purpose of gaining compliance to certain acts of sexual harassment.”
The 63-year-old actor, of course, has had a working familiarity with GHB, having been high on the drug when arrested in Malibu in September 2002 for drunk driving. He subsequently copped a plea and was sentenced to three years probation, counseling, and drug testing.

In the least most surprising news of the day, Nick Nolte is following the script of most old-school Hollywood actors with the accusation he slipped a young lady the “Gentleman’s Breathmint.”
Who’s next? Larry King? Why yes!
Eddie Fisher's ex-wife, Terry Richard, alleges Larry King groped in the early 2000s: “He groped me twice. He gets a thrill doing this in front of the camera, knowing I couldn’t do anything.” https://t.co/M8oIXbgKyX pic.twitter.com/HN0mOf8pRs

Source – Larry King has hit back at claims that he groped singer and actor Eddie Fisher’s ex-wife, Terry Richard, on two separate occasions in the early aughts. Earlier this week, Richard told Daily Mail TV that King groped her on two different occasions, both at baseball awards dinners held at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.
Daily Mail TV reports that Richard “said in the first incident, while posing together for a photo, King slid his hand down her backless dress and rested his fingers in between her butt cheeks…Richard claims the second time was also while they were taking a photo together, and King, now 84, squeezed her butt so hard that it left a large bruise.”
The first incident took place in 2005, the second just one year later in 2006. Richard told Daily Mail TV, “Larry King is a groper. He groped me twice. He gets a thrill doing this in front of the camera, knowing I couldn’t do anything.”
King’s camp already denied the allegations to Daily Mail TV, and when asked for a statement, King’s lawyer said Richard’s claims are false, adding, “Mr. King did no such thing then or ever.”
The radio and TV show host has now released a full statement to People, which adds that “days before the outlet published Richard’s account, an attorney for King sent a denial letter — obtained by PEOPLE — to Daily Mail.”
That statement reads in part, “We represent Larry King. I am informed that you intend to publish a statement by a woman named Terry Richards [sic] that, 10 or more years ago, Mr. King supposedly ‘groped’ her at one or more baseball dinners. That assertion is entirely and unequivocally false and defamatory. Mr. King did no such thing then or ever. Your publishing this false and defamatory statement will be actionable and highly damaging.”
Richard told Daily Mail that she doesn’t want any financial compensation from King, but “an apology would be nice.”
His heart may not work, and he looks like death, but Larry King is still thirsty at 84?
This will all get lost in the sexual assault allegation landslide, but it’s worth noting regardless.
