LOS ANGELES — A woman who accused British punk rocker Johnny Rotten of assault has reached a deal with the former Sex Pistols frontman and will withdraw a legal complaint against him, a legal source said Wednesday.
Lawyers for Roxane Davis informed the Los Angeles Superior Court of the deal at the end of January, but details of the agreement have not yet been revealed.
Davis accused the singer, whose real name is John Lydon, of attacked her in January 2007 because he was unsatisfied with the hotel room she had reserved for him.
Davis was working as a production assistant on a reality television show starring the former singer, now 54.
She filed the complaint in June 2008, seeking damages from Rotten and alleged he was both violent and had sexually harassed her.
The Sex Pistols, famed for their 1976 punk anthem “Anarchy in the UK,” broke up in 1978 but have gotten back together for occasional concerts since.
