AKON INSISTS INNOCENCE OVER FAN-TOSSING ALLEGATIONS

LATEST: R+B singer AKON is adamant he is innocent of potential criminal charges after he allegedly threw a teenage fan into the audience of a New York concert. Video footage shows the Smack That hitmaker hurling a devotee into the crowd at a gig in Fishkill, New York, on Sunday (03Jun07). While no criminal charges have yet been filed over the incident, police are in contact with the alleged victim - a 15-year-old boy from Harriman. A statement from Akon's lawyer Benjamin Brafman reads, "Given the information that we have reviewed to date, it does not appear to us that Akon was involved in any criminal conduct whatsoever. "We are prepared to fully cooperate with any law enforcement agency that may be investigating this incident. We are confident that after a thorough investigation it will be apparent that no criminal prosecution of Akon is warranted." This is the second teen-related controversial incident for Akon - last month (May07) the singer apologised after dirty-dancing with a 14-year-old girl onstage, after she sneaked into an over-18 nightclub performance.
