The lawyer representing the Atlanta based masseur that is suing John Travolta for sexual assault and battery reveals that his client would settle the matter quickly for $250k. The unidentified masseur, who made the bombshell claims against Travolta, several days after another anonymous man filed a similar lawsuit against Travolta, both men are seeking $2 million dollars in damages.
Travolta's attorney, Marty Singer, has denounced the claims of both masseurs.
The second masseur is being repped by Okorie Okorocha, the same attorney who filed the initial sexual battery lawsuit against Travolta. According to the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday morning in Federal Court in Los Angeles, the second alleged victim claims that while working at an unspecified resort in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28, 2012, he did an in-room massage on Travolta.
"My client will settle for $250k to make this go away quickly and without having any further action being taken in this case," Okorocha quoted as saying.
"My client wants his life back and for that to happen at this point we would be willing to accept a settlement. I have been speaking with Marty Singer about establishing the ground rules for arbitration/mediation in this case. We haven't agreed on anything yet, or which private judge will hear the case. I want it to be one judge, Marty Singer would like more than one judge. These are sticking points that we can work out if this case doesn't settle. I haven't discussed any settlement figures with Marty yet but I anticipate we will be having those discussions very soon." Okorocha declared.
"Look my client is a very tall man, weighs about 300 pounds and is also a personal trainer so a private judge could absolutely look at him and wonder how much in damages he really suffered. If this could settle quickly, well, obviously, that would be the best result for all parties involved," Okorocha added.
