LEESBURG, Va. — A lawyer for Rose McGowan says the actress and activist will plead no contest to a reduced drug charge in Virginia and avoid jail time.
Attorney Jim Hundley tells WTOP-FM that the commonwealth agreed to reduce the felony cocaine possession charge to misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, and that prosecutors will recommend she pay a fine.

Charging documents say cocaine was found in a wallet McGowan left on a plane last year. McGowan had maintained innocence, suggesting in court papers that the drugs were planted at the behest of producer Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein attorney Ben Brafman called that allegation a “ludicrous claim.”
McGowan was among the first to accuse Weinstein of sexual assault.
McGowan will enter the plea Jan. 15, the day her trial was to begin.
