GARY DOURDAN SUES EX-GIRLFRIEND FOR $4 MILLION: Actor alleges slander after former lover accused him of rape.
*Gary Dourdan, star of CBS’s popular drama “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” has filed a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend for slander and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the actor is seeking $4 million from former girlfriend Anne Greene after she accused him of rape and battery in 2005. Dourdan, who was never charged with rape, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to stay away from Greene and attend domestic violence counseling.
A year later, Dourdan is firing back with his lawsuit, claiming Greene is a "fatal attraction" stalker, who called him up to 30 times a day, left threatening messages on his voicemail and slept in her car outside his home.
The lawsuit, filed under Dourdan's real name, Gary Durdin, also says Greene set out on "an obsessive crusade" to destroy his "reputation and peace of mind."
The case will be heard in Los Angeles Superior Court in September.
