Two women who accused Trey Songz of sexual assault at a 2015 party at his Bell Canyon home have dropped their lawsuit.
An attorney for the plaintiffs, identified only as Jane Doe A and Jane Doe B, filed court papers on Tuesday with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis asking that their case be dismissed “without prejudice,” meaning it can be refiled later. The pleadings do not state if a settlement was reached or if the women were not pursuing the case for other reasons.
Jane Doe A lives in San Diego and Jane Doe B in Denver, the suit states. The two plaintiffs were expecting a celebration when they went to the R&B singer’s home on his invitation after attending one of his concerts on Aug. 2, 2015, but were instead subjected to “acts so heinous, so contrary to basic human decency, that they defy comprehension,” the suit filed Oct. 23 stated.
“The atmosphere grew heavy, disturbingly, (and) while defendant Songz and his male associates did not drink alcohol, the plaintiffs and other female guests were coercively pressed to drink from unsealed liquor bottles, which were curiously full, and faced intense intimidation if they dared to decline,” the suit stated.
Both women believe they were led by the 39-year-old “Can’t Help but Wait” singer to an upstairs room after being drugged and sexually assaulted during the night, the complaint alleged.
The morning of Aug. 3, 2015, the women waited about 30 minutes to get their phones returned and another 40 minutes for a ride-hailing driver to arrived, according to the complaint, which also states that their finances have been impacted and that they continue to suffer from emotional distress. The singer’s real name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson.
