Gene Simmons clear of assault charges

Gene Simmons has reportedly been cleared of assault allegations.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney has decided not to prosecute the KISS member over an alleged violent altercation involving two other people, says TMZ.

According to the DA's report, there was not enough evidence to continue the case against Simmons, who was accused of choking and threatening Nathan Marlowe and Cynthia Manzo at LA's Grove shopping centre last year.

Marlowe has now filed a civil lawsuit against the rocker. The suit claims that "the stress of the incident has impaired his ability to work in a tattoo parlor and to have sex with Cynthia Manzo".
