A lawsuit accusing US singer Trey Songz of sexual assault has been dismissed after he allegedly exposed a woman’s breast at a pool party in Connecticut in August of 2013 during an event called Foxwoods Liquid Sundays with Trey Songz.
The woman who filed the lawsuit, known as Jane Doe, claimed that Songz exposed her breast without her consent, which she said was a form of sexual assault. Songz and his team denied the allegations.
A judge dismissed the case after finding that the plaintiff had failed to respond to Songz’s motion to dismiss, which cited statute of limitations.
The woman had previously amended her complaint twice, and Songz filed another motion to dismiss in December, claiming that her claims closely mirrored her earlier allegations.
The judge granted Songz’s request, but allowed Jane Doe to amend her complaint again; however, it appears that she never responded to Songz’s latest motion to dismiss .
In her original lawsuit filed in June, Jane Doe also accused Songz’s production company, record executive, and Atlantic Records of being responsible because they should have been aware of his “sexual proclivities” and failed to keep him under control during the event.
She claimed that she was humiliated after the incident, resulting in long-lasting emotional distress, which led her to quit her promising career just months after the alleged assault due to embarrassment.
She was seeking $10 million in damages in her lawsuit. Songz’s attorney Michael Freedman dismissed the allegations in a statement to TMZ, saying, “This is yet another example of decade-old allegations being repurposed into a federal case to take advantage of California’s constitutionally questionable new look back window. We look forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court .”
