WYCKOFF -- Assault charges filed against "American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident at his Wyckoff home have been dismissed, according to reports.

A plea agreement was reached on Sept. 16 between Maroulis and his alleged victim, a longtime girlfriend, the Wyckoff Patch reported.

The charges were dismissed on the condition that the court received no more complaints for six months, the Daily Mail reported.

Since "American Idol," Maroulis, 39, has gone on to star on Broadway.

In August, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend, who is also the mother of his child, in their shared Wyckoff home during an Aug. 11 argument. His spokesman denied the attack, saying Maroulis was being attacked himself, E! reported.

Maroulis's hearing was previously scheduled for Sept. 3, but had to be rescheduled when all parties were not present.

The performer re-tweeted a Billboard.com story about the charges being dismissed.
