Trey Songz wants his sexual assault case thrown out, claiming witness tampering. According to TMZ, Songz is being sued by Jauhaura Jeffries, who has claimed the singer sexually violated her back in 2017 on New Year's Eve in Miami. Jeffries alleged that she was dancing on a couch at E11VEN nightclub when Songz touched her vagina without her consent.
In the new paperwork filed by his attorneys, Songz insisted that there is a witness that can clear his name. He has alleged that the witness was with them all at the club and has denied being assaulted herself. The witness also said that she did not witness Songz assault anyone.
Meanwhile, the documents also claimed that the unknown witness was approached by Jeffries’ lead attorney in an attempt to get her to change her story.
Trey’s lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, believes this was an attempt to get the witness to come forward as a co-plaintiff to improve Jeffries’ chances of getting a larger settlement.
Trey's lawyer claims that Jeffries' lawyer Ariel Mitchel offered the witness a payout between $100K-$200K, depending on the outcome of the potential settlement. The witness apparently denied taking the payout and insists that she never saw a sexual assault that night.
TREY SONGZ ACCUSED OF ANAL RAPE; SUED FOR $20 MILLION
In other news,yesterday (February 15th), another woman sued Songz for $20 million, accusing him of anal rape. According to TMZ, the woman, who is being identified as Jane Doe, claimed that the alleged rape on March 24, 2016 when she claimed that he turned into a “savage rapist.”
In the suit, the woman claimed Trey invited her to a house party in L.A. He invited her upstairs for consensual sex. She claims Trey repeatedly asked her if he could “get that a**” on the way upstairs and she repeatedly told him “no” and to stop asking.
The woman claimed that once they got into the bedroom, he threw her to the ground, ripped her pants off, pinned her down face first and forced his penis into her anus without her consent.
The woman claimed she screamed in pain and begged Trey to stop, and even tried fighting him off her but she said she was overpowered.
The woman claimed that she was able to escape after Trey finished. She grabbed her clothes, except for her underwear and ran outside to call an Uber.
The woman claimed that her Uber driver noticed she was in distress and rerouted her to a hospital, where she claims a sexual assault exam was performed and the police were called. As a result of the alleged rape, the woman says the exam showed she had “severe anal tearing that could require surgery” but she didn't tell to police because she was “in shock and fearing for her life.”
The woman's attorney is also representing two women who are suing the singer for alleged assaults in Miami and New York.
TREY RESPONDS
Trey denied the allegations, with his rep telling the site, “The allegations set forth in this latest suit are emphatically false and yet another desperate attempt to shift the focus off of the real story, which is that these lawyers were caught trying to pay off a witness in another one of their sham cases.”
