Ross’ legal team states the accusations are false, noting the alleged incident was reported a full month after it supposedly occurred.
Ross has formally pleaded not guilty to both charges and is currently released on bond pending his court date.
The judge’s widely shared line “what does that mean” was in response to Ross’ attorney arguing his high-profile status should be considered for jail housing.
