The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on Thursday, is linked to a sexual battery lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe last February against the 38-year-old (real name Tremaine Neverson) over claims he sodomized the woman during a party in March 2016. 

In a statement given to Rolling Stone, Doe’s attorney George Vrabeck calls out Atlantic Records, which signed Neverson in the early 2000s, as well as Neverson’s manager Liles and 300, the label he co-founded, for effectively turning a blind eye to the growing number of accusations against the singer throughout the years.

?This case is much more than about one singer and one viciously abused sexual assault survivor who dares to take action,? Vrabeck says. ? It’s also very much about the systematic sexual abuse in the music industry and its complicity in silencing sexual abuse survivors. It’s virtually impossible to believe that those executives are not and were not aware of the institutionalized sexual abuse.? 

Doe’s allegations mirror those in her first lawsuit, dismissed last November after Neverson’s team argued her claim was past the statute of limitations. The two were at a party in the Los Angeles West Hills section when Neverson allegedly led Doe to a bedroom. Acknowledging the two had a consensual sexual history, Doe claims she was expecting to have another consensual encounter. However, once inside the room, she says things are different.

Neverson allegedly threw Doe to the ground and anally raped her, ignoring her as she screamed in pain, fought to get free, and begged him to stop, according to the lawsuit. Following the alleged attack, Doe claims her concerned Lyft driver took her to a nearby hospital, where she claims that she was given medical treatment and sexual assault counseling.

After the encounter, Doe claims Neverson harassed her when they bumped into each other on nights out, including during a New Year.s Eve party, where he allegedly shouted that she was a slut and a liar and had security eject her from the event. The suit alleges that the fear of Neverson was so great that Doe moved to another state. But even there, she says, she was threatened, claiming that another musician instructed her to keep [Neverson?s] name out her fucking mouth or he would kill her. Doe says she changed her hair color and is planning on moving to another new state this year.

Doe’s new suit also names Atlantic Records, Liles, and his 300 Entertainment label as defendants, arguing that by continuing to have a working relationship with Neverson and overseeing his career, they are responsible in some manner for Neverson’s behavior.

Trey Songz’s accuser points out that she’s not the first to accuse Neverson of such behavior, listing 10 other incidents in which Neverson was accused of sexual assault, sexual intimidation, or physical violence against men and women, including three times before her alleged assault.

Last April, a woman claimed Neverson had groped her and exposed her breast during a pool party in 2013, seeking a $5 million settlement to avoid heading to court. That January, former college basketball player Dylan Gonzalez accused Neverson of raping her in Las Vegas. (Gonzalez’s claim is separate from the woman who accused Neverson of sexually assaulting her during his birthday celebrations in Nov. 2021. Las Vegas police closed the investigation in April.)

Neverson was also sued for $10 million in Miami in Dec. 2021 by a woman who claimed she had felt his fingers being inserted into her vagina. Without her consent during a New Year’s Eve party in 2018.
