Charlie Sheen might be cleared by his text messages

It's illegal to choke a girl and lock her in your hotel bathroom, unless she's awesome and into that kind of thing. And that appears to be the case with Charlie Sheen and Capri Anderson, which would explain a lot regarding their New York City hotel room drama last month.

TMZ has gotten a few text messages the two reportedly sent one another after the incident, and they could go a long way in helping Sheen.

ANDERSON: "u trashed my brand new prada purse dude not cool - how u managed to rip the strap off and put 2 holes in it is beyond me."
SHEEN: "All I need is an Acct number etc and I will wire u 20k if u think that will cover everything ... I really feel bad, u are as cool and sexy and as sweet and fun and friendly as they get!"
SHEEN: "Don't worry about our mutual friends, deal with me directly and I promise u kind lady, all will be restored and set straight."

So she seems upset but not devastated, perhaps because professional prostitutes will put up with a lot because you pay them too. The key, however, is that you have to actually pay them.

The next day, after Sheen fled New York and flew home to LA, the texts continued.

SHEEN: "Just landed, perhaps we can speak tonite....?"
ANDERSON: "Yes u can call me.  I don't have a bank account believe it or not."
SHEEN: "Oh, well in that case, lemme put together a plan to get u square and flush.  Can u tok (sic) for a sec now sweetie?"
SHEEN: "Good news!  My asst Rick is good friends with a cat named Mark In NY, he will get the wire, cash that bitch, and deliver it to u where ever it's convenient ... I'll get the ball Rollin in am, and have data for u asap after that...?"
ANDERSON: "Can he leave it somewhere secure for me to pick up?  Like with a bank rep ... I'm rlly nervous about all this."
SHEEN: "Of course, whatever makes u feel better..."
SHEEN: "Lemme start that ball Rollin and I'll get back to u with the details..."

It's not clear why but Anderson was never paid. More than likely because it was one day later and Sheen had gotten high again, punched out some more hookers, and long forgotten who Capri Anderson was. At best, someone named Cassie Anderton in Vegas had a stranger knock on her door and hand her $20,000.
