In August 2012, Odom was charged with second-degree rape, assault by strangulation and common law robbery, court records show.
A prosecutor dismissed the charges after questioning the credibility of Odom and the victim, a prostitute, according to the dismissal form in Mecklenburg County Superior Court.
The prostitute said she was choked and passed out and didnt know if Odom had sex with her, according to the dismissal form. The victim was more concerned about the lost money ($100) than the alleged assault, the prosecutor wrote on the form.
Records clerks said dismissal forms related to charges against Odom in 2010 and 2000 were destroyed by state statute, including charges of first-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping and first-degree burglary in 2010. Because the records were detroyed, it isnt clear why those cases were dismissed.
