"The first of the two anonymous male massage therapists who filed sexual battery charges against John Travolta has withdrawn his lawsuit, CNN reports.&amp;#xA0;\r\nOkorie Okarocha, the lawyer representing both masseurs, filed papers Tuesday dropping the client identified as John Doe #1 because he incorrectly listed the date of the alleged incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel as January 16.\r\n\r\nInstead of simply changing the date on the filing to January 15 -- the day John Doe #1 later claimed the event took place -- Okarocha chose to withdraw the allegation from the lawsuit, as it would have diminished the chances of winning John Doe #2&amp;apos;s case, he told CNN.\r\nOn Tuesday, Travolta&amp;apos;s lawyer, Marty Singer, issued a statement, saying: &amp;quot;We fully expect that my client will similarly be vindicated with respect to Doe #2, as well as with respect to any other person who makes meritless claims against John Travolta.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nJohn Doe #2 alleged Travolta once groped him during a massage at an Atlanta hotel. According to Okarocha, &amp;quot;I can guarantee that John Doe #2 has a truckload of witnesses to back up what he&amp;apos;s saying.&amp;quot; John Doe #2 also has a series of e-mails in which he complained to his supervisor about Travolta&amp;apos;s alleged advances.\r\nAfter being dropped by Okarocha, John Doe #1 hired attorney Gloria Allred, E! News confirmed Wednesday.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Mr. Doe&amp;apos;s lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice, which means that he is still legally entitled to file a lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses,&amp;quot; Allred, 70, said in a statement. &amp;quot;We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take. Our client and our firm has no further comment at this time.&amp;quot;\r\nTravolta, 58, has been married to actress Kelly Preston, 49, since 1991. She is the mother of his three children: Jett (1992-2009), Ella (born in 2000) and Benjamin (born in 2010)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
