Trey Songz sued over 2018 alleged sexual assault...
From NBC News
Singer Trey Songz is accused of assaulting a woman at a Miami nightclub on New Year’s Day in 2018.
The woman identifies herself in a civil lawsuit as Jauhara Jeffries. The suit was filed Monday in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida.
Jeffries alleges in the suit that she met Songz after she attended a New Year’s Eve party at Diddy’s home on Star Island.
It says Jeffries partied for about two hours and then called for a ride-sharing service to take her and some friends to E11EVEN nightclub in Miami.
Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson, was leaving Diddy’s home at the same time when he overheard a conversation between Jeffries and her friends and invited them to ride with him to the club, according to the lawsuit.
It says Songz appeared inebriated and accuses Diddy, whose real name is Sean John Combs, of hosting a party where Songz was served alcohol until he was intoxicated.
The suit alleges that Songz invited Jeffries and her friends to join him at a private table at the club. It alleges that while Jeffries was dancing on a couch, Songz sexually violated her with his fingers. It accuses him of pulling his hand away when Jeffries turned around, the suit says.
“Plaintiff immediately got off of the couch, sat down, and was in a state of shock,” the lawsuit says. Another woman who went over to see what was wrong with Jeffries told her that Songz had also violated her with his fingers, the suit claims.
Jeffries is seeking more than $20 million in damages for medical expenses, lost wages and emotional distress.
