A confidential settlement has been reached in the lawsuit against former Centre County Assistant District Attorney Lance Marshall, who was accused of offering to trade sex for court favors in 2008.

Marshall, Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira and Centre County were sued in February by a domestic abuse victim who alleged in the lawsuit that Marshall sent her more than 250 explicit text messages and voicemails, intercepted her phone conversations and solicited sex for court favors last year, according to court documents.

The woman sued on allegations of invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil rights violations and the unlawful interception of telephone communications.

But now all the parties involved have settled out of court, with Madeira and the county coming away without having to pay any compensation.

"We're being dismissed from the lawsuit, and we're not paying anything," Madeira said. "We're happy this resolution is the one we were looking for."

Madeira added that the undisclosed settlement ends the whole lawsuit, including claims against Marshall.

Joseph Green, the attorney representing Centre County, said the terms of the settlement are confidential, but his client didn't have to pay compensation.

"The case will be discontinued against all defendants," Green said. "[The settlement] doesn't request us to pay a dime."

Marshall's attorney, Gary Weber, said he couldn't comment on the case, but he stated that "it's settled."
