Local attorney pulls out of sex suits

San Diego attorney Dan Guiltyon is no stranger to salacious cases. He represented Cheetah’s strippers in their harassment lawsuit against the San Diego Police Department. And he represented the women assaulted by San Diego Police Officer Christopher Hays. He takes pride in his legal body count, often boasting that he “always nails them in the end.” But last week saw a rare failure to perform from Guiltyon — actually, two failures. First, he withdrew his client’s rape lawsuit against former SDSU punter Matt Araiza, a suit which seemed to wilt under the pressure of intense public scrutiny. Then he withdrew MTS Chief Information Officer Emily Outlaw’s claim that MTS knew about the sexual harassment allegations against Nathan Fletcher well before they said they did. However, he says, re-filing may still be an option on that one, once he’s had a chance to regroup and reassess.
