Trey Songz has been sued by a woman who alleges that he raped her in 2016, TMZ and NBC News report. The woman, identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe, is seeking $20 million in damages, according to TMZ.
The lawsuit reportedly states that the woman was anally penetrated by Songz at a house party in Los Angeles after she repeatedly told him she did not want to have anal sex with him. The woman reportedly claims in the lawsuit that she left the location in an Uber, and when her driver noted that she was in distress, he drove her to a hospital where a sexual assault exam was conducted. She spoke to police, but says she didn’t name Songz out of fear of retaliation, according to TMZ.
In a statement to NBC News, a representative for Trey Songz said, “The allegations in this complaint are false. Trey looks forward to having the facts fully aired.”
