The Playboy Playmate formerly accused of taking money from innocent children just won big in court -- because the lawsuit which claimed stole another woman's child support was just dropped.
Ida Ljungqvist's lawyer, Keith Fink, claimed the other woman decided against pursuing her lawsuit because she was told she faced a malicious prosecution action if she followed through with it.
Katrina Kantner filed the lawsuit on May 28 -- claiming Ida received $90,000 from her ex-husband, Doug ... all while Doug neglected his $10,000 monthly child support payments.
Ida's lawyer claims she was targeted simply because she is a celebrity.

2002 Playmate of the Year Dalene Kurtis thought taking a vacation to Hawaii with her boyfriend was a great idea ... that is, until he allegedly used her as a punching bag and then threatened to kill her.
Kurtis was granted a temporary restraining order earlier this month against an ex she claims pushed her, punched her and choked her during a recent trip to Hawaii. She claims the ex said he was "gonna kill [her]," "slit [her] throat" and that she was a "f**king whore."
She then claims four days later he choked her until she couldn't breathe, stomped on her stomach, punched her, broke her finger, and spit in her face. That's when she (finally) called the cops and had him arrested.
Kurtis was granted a TRO, which includes her two-year-old son. She's scheduled to be in court later today to try to get the order made permanent.
We've also learned Kurtis recently filed for a substitute of attorney, hiring Ron Rale (Anna Nicole's former attorney in the Howard K. Stern case) from Trope and Trope ... who had "no comment" when we called about Kurtis' case.

Hell hath no fury like a Playmate scorned -- especially when the Playmate claims she's been falsely accused of stealing money from kids.
2009 Playmate of the Year Ida Ljungqvist has filed legal papers shredding Katrina Kantner -- the woman suing Ida claims teamed up with her soon-to-be ex husband, Doug Kantner, allegedly in a scheme to steal child support from her kids.
Not only does Ida claim Katrina's suit is a "transparent attempt to extort additional monies out of Doug" -- the Playmate says the false allegations have "disrupted and diminished Ljungqvist's long term ability to raise funds for ... charities and philanthropic associations."
Bottom line -- Ida says she being attacked because of her high-profile celebrity status.

Hurry! While supply lasts, you can purchase a 2007 Mini Cooper convertible owned by a former Playmate of the Year -- and it'll only cost you around $9,000 more than it should!* (Playmate not included)
That's right, folks, this fully loaded Mini -- which is "celebrity owned" by 2007 PMOY Sara Jean Underwood -- will run you $34,999.99. But we checked the all-knowing Kelly Blue Book, which says a Mini of the same model, make, year and mileage should cost around $26,000.
The Mini, much like most Playmates, must have a few enhanced parts under the hood.
