Demand for Aja Oxman says Bieber paparazzo ordered his bodyguards to take a memory card after the photographer took pictures of the pop singer jumping off a cliff into the ocean at shipwreck beach on the island of Kauai. Bodyguard Dwayne Patterson Oxman placed in a stranglehold and seriously wounded him and damaged his camera during the November incident the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages in excess of $ 25,000 for assault and battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Patterson was arrested on suspicion of assault and later charged with second-degree theft. He did not refute property damage and criminal harassment and was ordered to pay $ 6,000 in restitution Oxman, according to court documents. Patterson's conviction will not remain on your record if you do not get into more trouble, according to the documents.
Bieber, 20, was not arrested and no charges were filed against him due to lack of evidence that he ordered to attack Patterson Oxman, Attorney Justin Kollar Kauai County said Wednesday. Kollar said Patterson had paid full refund Oxman.
Emails sent to Bieber's publicist Melissa Victor and lawyer Howard Weitzman were not immediately returned. A phone message left by attorney Craig De Costa, who represented Patterson in the criminal case Hawaii, was not immediately returned.
The lawsuit does not accuse Oxman Bieber being involved in the assault, but the singer says her bodyguard helped destroy the camera.
Earlier this month, Bieber pleaded guilty to charges of reckless driving and resisting arrest in a case of Miami filed after the singer was arrested in what police called an illegal drag race in January. Bieber had been accused of driving under the influence, but he pleaded guilty to lesser charges through a lawyer. In July, the singer decided a criminal case in Los Angeles not to contest a charge of misdemeanor vandalism for throwing eggs at a neighbor's house. In this case, Bieber agreed to pay more than $ 80,000 in damages and meet certain other conditions.
Besides demand Oxman, Bieber is being sued by other photographers who accuse him of roughing up. A case is pending in Miami, and another paparazzo sued Bieber for assault and battery in June 2013 during an altercation at a shopping center in Calabasas celebrity enclave. The case is still pending and is scheduled for trial in December.
