In a recent legal development, Grammy-nominated artist Trey Songz has emerged victorious as a federal judge granted his motion to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him. The lawsuit, brought by a woman identified as Jane Doe, alleged that Songz pulled down her bikini top without consent at a pool party in 2013, causing embarrassment.
According to the plaintiff, the "Neighbors Know My Name" singer exposed her breast while partygoers looked on, and she claimed that both Trey Songz and the crowd chanted during the incident. The lawsuit also implicated music executive Kevin Liles and Atlantic Records, alleging their complicity in enabling Songz's actions and failing to address them despite being aware of his alleged misconduct against women.
Trey Songz and his legal team responded by disputing the claims and asserting that the lawsuit was filed past the statute of limitations. The judge concurred, acknowledging that while Jane Doe had ten years to file the lawsuit in California, she had exceeded the allowable timeframe, leading to the dismissal of the case.
This legal victory adds to a series of dismissed claims against Trey Songz. In the previous year, a Las Vegas judge rejected a rape lawsuit related to a 2016 hotel incident. As the artist continues to face legal challenges, the recent dismissal emphasizes the importance of adhering to legal timelines and raises questions about the strength of the allegations made against him.
