Conor Oberst Dismisses Lawsuit Against Accuser

The Bright Eyes singer’s attorney filed the notice of voluntary dismissal Friday in New York federal court. The move comes after Oberst’s publicist released a statement from the woman that says she falsely accused Oberst to get attention and she apologized.

The North Carolina woman made the claims on a website last December, saying that Oberst forced her to have sex after a show 10 years ago in Durham, North Carolina, when she was 16.

Oberst filed the libel suit in February. He issued a statement last week saying he accepted the apology and that he looks forward “to happier times as we all move forward with our lives.”
