QUICK TAKES

Charges dropped

Felony sex charges against a member of Saving Abel and an employee of the band have been dropped by the Alameda County district attorney's office. Guitarist Jason Null, 33, and guitar stringer Brandon Danger, 21, had been accused of forcing a 17-year-old girl to perform oral sex after a concert in Oakland, Calif. Assistant District Attorney Tom Rogers says a video taken after the concert last week shows the girl led people to believe she was older and was not forced into the sex act with Danger.
