The woman who accused Nelly of raping her on his tour bus last weekend in Aurburn, Washington has dropped the criminal accusations. 

Karen Koehler, the lawyer representing the woman, reportedly commented on Friday that her client wanted to bring the investigation to halt and would not testify in court. She also commented that her client "wishes she had not called 911 because she believes the system is going to fail her” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
