Rogelio Luis Nores, who had been accused of abandoning Payne despite knowing about his addiction, was recently acquitted of all criminal charges. According to a report shared by The New York Post, the earlier decision and dismissal of the charges was upheld after prosecutors decided not to appeal the court’s dismissal. This made the sentence final, with all criminal charges against Nores dropped entirely.His defense attorney issued a statement saying, “There is no chance that Nores will be brought back on the case. The court was clear in its ruling that it cleared him of any criminal wrongdoing.” Throughout the case, his legal aid repeatedly claimed that Nores could not have been held responsible for the health and well-being of the former One Direction singer at all times. The statement further added: “Roger never had a duty of care to Payne, let alone care for his addictions. He wasn’t Liam’s guarantor. He was her friend, not her doctor, nurse or therapist.”
