Maino no longer faces a charge of sexual assault as a judge recently exonerated him.
The charge stems from an October 2014 alleged incident involving pornstar Mellanie Monroe. Monroe claimed Maino hit her over the head with a champagne bottle at Griffin nightclub in New York City. It turns out that she made up everything.
“Violence against women is an important issue in today’s society,” Nicole Manini, Esq. of the Blanch Law Firm told hiphopwired.com. “As a female attorney, I find it completely offensive to actual victims of domestic violence and assault that Ms. Hennigan (aka Mellanie Monroe) would make these allegations against our client knowing that they were not true. False allegations of abuse and assault diminish the severity of such crimes real victims face and increase the fear that they will not be believed should they come forward against their assailants.”

Cell phone footage obtained by law officials only shows Maino and business partner Richard Holt spraying Monroe with champagne after she began to repeatedly repeat the “N” word. Monroe also claimed the Brooklyn rapper kicked her while the two were in his SUV Audi Q7, which turns out to be impossible by how the seats were arranged.
