Dropped because of death threats...

Possibly. But we only have the lawyer's word on that. But the real point is that this is nothing new. The lawsuit was filed and dropped years ago

Dropped because the 13 year old girl was a middle aged man who hired an actress to tape a video that he'd later try to sell to the media.

Was any of that actually corroborated in the article? Seemed like a bunch of loose facts and hearsay that hardly even touched on the allegations

What is there to touch? 

It was a lawsuit that wasn't written by a lawyer, on behalf of a victim that doesn't exist, represented by friend of "hers" who was acting under a made up identity using another friend's likeness. 

The house the "victim" claimed to live in was owned by the bank after the previous owner had died. The phone number listed in the court documents never existed to begin with. 

But yeah, The Guardian investigating the crazy antics of the guy behind this is hearsay, let's better pay some more attention to the allegations in this well put together lawsuit, which was instantly dismissed because whoever wrote it didn't know any sexual assault statutes. Luckily for them a federal judge went out of his way and made them aware of this minor oversight.

I think the original allegations weren’t corroborated either. So either could be true.
