One charge of aggravated kidnapping and four sexual assault charges against former WWE Champion Alberto El Patron (fka Alberto Del Rio) were dismissed on Friday after a witness did not appear in court, according to Bexar County, Texas court records.
Court records show that an arraignment was held on Friday, along with a hearing and trial, with the actual trial being set for Monday, December 13. However, the case was then dismissed due to a missing witness.
Court records also show that due to the dismissal over a missing witness, Patron was released from pre-trial supervision, released from all liability in the case, and his $50,000 bond was returned. The cast status is now closed, and there are no court costs or fines associated with the case.
