“There’s a civil suit that’s been filed,” Corona said. “It’s all about monetary gain, taking advantage of a celebrity and that’s the whole situation. That’s why we’re here and the truth will come out. The truth will come out. Our client is innocent and the truth will come out…our client did not throw any punches and the truth will come out.”
If convicted, under Florida law, Quan could face up to one year in jail or 12 months probation and a $1,000 fine.
