Tony Yayo’s Child Assault Charges Dropped

G-Unit’s Tony Yayo was cleared of all charges today relating to the assault of the 16-year-old son of Czar Entertainment CEO Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond.

The ruling was made in Manhattan Criminal Court this morning. Yayo’s attorney Scott Leemon issued the following statement:

“I am pleased to announce that as of this morning, Tony Yayo is no longer facing any criminal charges relating to the incident that occurred last March,” he said. “First, I would like to thank the District Attorney’s office, who after further investigation, agreed with us that Tony Yayo should not be subject to any criminal liability for this incident.”

“As I told you from the beginning, Tony Yayo did not hit anyone and would never do anything to harm a child,” Leemon added.

Yayo was charged in March, 2007 of assault, harassment and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly smacking then 14-year-old James Rosemond on the street in Manhattan.

However in a surprising turn of events on January 10, co-defendant Lowell Fletcher admitted to slapping the boy, saying Yayo actually had tried to restrain him.
