Josh Duggar is off the hook - for now! The disgraced former "19 Kids and Counting" star is no longer facing a $500,000 sexual assault lawsuit from porn star and model Danica Dillon, who previously claimed that she suffered emotional and physical abuse during consensual intercourse with the father-of-four on two separate occasions.
Dillon, whose real name is Ashley Stamm-Northup, said that she met Duggar last March at the Gold Club - a Philadelphia strip club - where he bought $600 in private dances and asked how much it cost to spend the evening with her, as HNGN previously reported.
"He walked into the Gold Club like a normal patron and said he'd been a fan for a long time and has watched my career grow, he even said from before my boob job, until recently, and that he loved watching my very first scene on (a porn website)," Dillon said, according to Raw Story. "Then it got creepy."
Dillon went on to allege that she agreed to sleep with Duggar for $1,500, but once in private, she claimed that Duggar did not use protection during sex and was so violent with her that she felt like "she was being raped." Dillon said Duggar "manhandled" her and "assaulted her to the point of causing her physical and emotional injuries," according to People.
However, Duggar has denied ever meeting Dillon, and his legal team admitted to having documents that would prove Dillon lied about their encounter. As of Friday, Dillon has dropped her lawsuit against Duggar, according to documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
While it is unclear what exactly Duggar's documents prove, the suit was dismissed with prejudice, which means that Dillon agreed not to re-file her lawsuit and Duggar agreed not to file the documents proving that Dillon was lying.
As part of the settlement, Dillon also acknowledged that documents produced by Duggar would have proved that she lied about their encounter.
"In consideration of the above, Duggar agrees to sign, on or before February 5, 2016, a Rule 41 Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice, foregoing his right to move for summary judgment in this matter and attaching exhibits which the parties agree would conclusively prove that Northup's claims are fabricated," the agreement read, according to TheWrap. Both Duggar and Northup signed the documents.
Documents also stated that "Duggar's attorney initially asked Dillon to pay his legal fees and post a statement admitting her allegations were false on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram," People Magazine reported.
Dillon, who is a mother-of-two, is standing up for herself on social media. "Just because something was dropped doesn't mean it was a lie #justsaying #thinkbeforeyoutweet," she wrote on Twitter. Dillon posted a photo of her flipping the bird to those who called her liar.
"To everyone who is calling me a liar," she wrote on Instagram, according to the Daily Mail. "And trying to attack me. Your words are nothing. And unless you are me then anything bad you have to say won't affect me. I will still continue to exist. I will still be the strong woman I have been. So support me or don't. My life still continues to push forward. And this won't be it for me."
The Duggar family has faced several scandals in the past year. Last year, Dillon admitted to looking at pornography and cheating on his wife using the adultery website, Ashley Madison, following the website's data breach. He also made headlines after a 2006 police report revealed that he admitted to molesting five underage girls as a teenager, four of whom were his sisters.
Duggar is currently seeking treatment at a faith-based Reformers Unanimous treatment program in Rockford, Ill.
