Criminal charges against controversial radio personality Star will be dropped in six months, according to the District Attorney's office. Star (born Troi Torain) was fired in May by New York's Power 105. FM for what the station's parent company, Clear Channel Radio, said were "wholly unacceptable" comments about rival, DJ Envy. Star was accused of making anti-Asian comments about DJ Envy's wife, Gia Casey. In addition to the comments, Star made remarks implying a threat of sexual abuse against the couple's four-year-old child and threatened to urinate on the girl. Star was arrested by detectives from the Hate Crimes Unit two days later and charged with harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. The charges against Star will be dropped if the 42-year-old on-air personality serves three days of community service and stays away from the four-year-old victim of his comments. Star labeled the ruling a victory for freedom of speech.
