LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Charges have been dropped against Los Angeles gang members accused of kidnapping a music producer who once said he had a sex tape of Shaquille O'Neal.
In February, seven members of the Main Street Crips were charged with kidnapping, assault and robbery in the abduction of O'Neal's former friend Robert Ross. O'Neal, a former center for the Los Angeles Lakers, announced his retirement this year after 19 NBA seasons.
