TREY SONGZ has been hit with a $25 million lawsuit linked to a sexual battery suit filed by a JANE DOE last FEBRUARY, according to ROLLING STONE. The suit also names his label ATLANTIC RECORDS, manager KEVIN LILES and 300 ENTERTAINMENT as defendants, claiming the parties should be held responsible for the singer’s actions.
The original lawsuit claims the 38-year-old R&B star (real name TREMAINE NEVERSON) sodomized her during a party in MARCH 2016.
DOE's attorney GEORGE VRABECK gave the following statement to ROLLING STONE: “This case is much more than about one singer and one viciously abused sexual assault survivor who has the courage to take action. It’s also very much about the systematic sexual abuse in the music industry and the music industry’s complicity in silencing sexual abuse survivors. It’s virtually impossible to believe that those executives are not and were not aware of the institutionalized sexual abuse.”
TREY SONGZ’s accuser points out 10 other incidents in which he was accused of sexual assault, sexual intimidation or physical violence against men and women — including three times before her alleged assault — each covered widely in the press.
SONGZ most recently turned himself in to NEW YORK CITY police after he was accused of punching a man and a woman at a bowling alley last NOVEMBER. Last APRIL, a woman claimed the singer groped and exposed her breast during a pool party in 2013, seeking a $5 million settlement to avoid heading to court. That JANUARY, former college basketball player DYLAN GONZALEZ accused him of raping her in LAS VEGAS.
He was also sued for $10 million in MIAMI in DECEMBER 2021 by a woman who claimed she had felt his “fingers being inserted into her vagina” without her consent during a NEW YEAR'S EVE party in 2018.
