AceShowbiz - Trey Songz has scored a victory yet again in a sexual assault lawsuit over a 2013 incident. A judge reportedly dismissed the case after the plaintiff, who used the Jane Doe pseudonym to protect her privacy, filed the complaint three times.
The woman first brought the allegation in 2022 through a demand letter, but it was not until the summer of 2023 that she officially sued the musician. She claimed that the singer grabbed and exposed her breast at a 2013 pool party after she merely tried to get a picture with him.
Jane Doe said the alleged assault happened in August at the Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut. In a video of the incident, the woman was excitedly filming herself and the 39-year-old crooner, who was standing next to her.
Trey was then seen grabbing the woman's bathing suit top, pulling it and exposing her breast. "In what appeared to be an attempt to further terrify and humiliate [the woman], [Trey Songz] followed the assault with a degrading chant, 'Titty in The Open … Titty in The Open,' " the lawsuit stated.
Aside from Trey, the woman listed his production company, record exec Kevin Liles and Atlantic Records as defendants because they were "negligent in their supervision of their client". She was demanding $10 million for sexual battery and assault.
Jane Doe amended her original complaint in July and again in September. Trey responded by filing a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that the statute of limitations had expired.
The judge granted the motion but allowed the woman to amend her complaint. However, her renewed claims closely resembled the earlier ones, prompting Trey to file another motion to dismiss on December 29. The plaintiff, however, failed to respond to this motion, so the lawsuit got thrown out once again.
