LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) -- Los Angeles authorities on Tuesday said that actor Charlie Sheen will not be prosecuted over the October Plaza Hotel incident in New York, TMZ.com reported.

Authorities determined that Sheen did not engage in any unlawful conduct and thus the criminal case against the "Two and a Half men" star will be dismissed. He was accused of assault, false imprisonment and battery by adult film actress Capri Anderson.

The actor had hired the 22-year-old porn star Anderson to escort him to a dinner-party in New York on October 25. The actor and the adult film star eventually went to Sheen's room at The Plaza Hotel in New York where he was found intoxicated and trashing the room on the next day.

Sheen was hospitalized but no charges were filed. He caused around $7,000 in damages to the hotel, which the actor paid. Police reported that a semi-naked woman was found in the room's bathroom after Sheen was removed from the suite.

Days later it was known that the mysterious woman was Anderson. She claimed that, through her agent, she was offered $3,500 to escort Sheen to a dinner-party. The porn star added that Sheen was drinking heavily and she was urged to escort him back to his hotel room.

She said that the actor was 'fairly intoxicated' at that moment but, despite this, the two began kissing and she willingly stayed in the room.

After a while, Anderson was undressed when according to her "things took a turn for the worse." Sheen then allegedly put her hands around her neck which made Anderson feel uncomfortable and begged him to release her. He complied but became, according to her, angered and began throwing things at her.

Anderson said she locked herself in the bathroom and called a friend as the actor began shouting offensive words at her. She said she feared for her life and, due to the shock, she did not inform the authorities when they arrived in the morning.

Sheen, 45, allegedly offered her $20,000 for her silence and as an apology but she declined. Anderson also complained that her $3,500 fee was never paid. The adult actress denied that she accepted having sex with the actor in exchange for money.

According to the New York Daily News, Sheen's anger surfaced after Anderson requested $12,000 for sex while they were in the hotel room. Sheen's lawyer said that the next day after the incident she posted on her website that she was fine and that a number of law firms refused her case because they doubt her credibility.
