According to the Los Angeles Times, “the parents of a girl who was 15-years-old when she had sex at Nick Nolte's home have settled their lawsuit against the actor and his son.”
The 15 year old girl attended a party at the actor's Malibu, California home in January 2003. She was found to be a victim of statutory rape.
Her parents sued the actor on her behalf in November 2004, alleging Nolte was liable for damages because his home has had “a long history of furnishing drugs and/or alcohol to minors.”
Nicholas Woodring, a friend of Nolte's son, Brawley Nolte, was convicted in March 2004 of a misdemeanor count of having sex with a minor.
A final status conference in the case was scheduled for Tuesday, but it was cancelled after a settlement notice was filed in a Santa Monica, California court last Thursday. The terms of the agreement were not available in the court records.
According to Nolte’s publicist, Nolte was not home during the incident.
The Times also reported that in January, the 64-year-old actor successfully completed probation from a 2002 no-contest plea to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of GHB. Nolte was arrested in 2002 after driving erratically, claiming he “inadvertently consumed GHB” in the course of taking a performance enhancing supplement.
