R&B artist Trey Songz has reached a settlement with a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her at a Los Angeles party in 2016.
According to reports from Radar Online, Trey Songz and the woman, identified as Jane Doe in the $25 million lawsuit filed against the singer in 2023, have settled the suit for an undisclosed amount. Consequently, a court date scheduled for September 16 will be vacated.
“The settlement agreement conditions dismissal of this matter on the satisfactory completion of specified terms that are not to be performed within 45 days of the date of the settlement,” reads the terms of the settlement. “A request for dismissal will be filed no later than June 10, 2024.”
In February of last year, the woman filed a lawsuit against Trey Songz, Atlantic Records, the singer’s manager Kevin Lilies, and 300 Entertainment, alleging that Trey Songz sodomized her during a party in March 2016.
The lawsuit accused Trey Songz of sexual assault, gender violence, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment.
In response to the allegations, a representative for Trey Songz denied the claims in a statement to TMZ.
“Earlier today, the attorney who drafted this suit was credibly accused of trying to pay a woman to falsely accuse Trey,” the rep said. “Hours later, that same attorney has filed this suit on behalf of an anonymous client. It isn’t hard to see what’s happening here, and it is a shame for genuine victims of sexual assault.”
