Oksana's lawyer, Dan Horowitz, announced to Judge Scott Gordon ... they would no longer be pursuing the claim that Mel's alleged violence against her is grounds to change the custody order.

Mel Gibson has struck an agreement with prosecutors and has made a plea deal in his looming criminal case ... sources connected with the L.A. County District Attorney tell TMZ ... and Mel will not get jail time.

Mel Gibson is poised to quit the US after selling his mansion near New York. The disgraced Lethal Weapon star, who faces allegations of violence from his Russian former girlfriend, sold the mock Tudor property, known as Old Mill Farm, for £16 million – £10 million less than the asking price.

Mel Gibson faced a devastating claim last night that he hit and bruised his eight-month-old daughter. Photographs taken after the alleged incident are said to show a bruise on baby Lucia's chin.

Despite a sheriff's investigation into claims that Mel Gibson assaulted ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, the actor is confident he'll be cleared of any wrongdoing, says a source close to the case. In fact, he's alleging that it's Grigorieva who broke the law.
