Summary
Motown legend Smokey Robinson has denied sexual assault allegations made by four former female employees in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, which claims sexual battery, including rape, and false imprisonment. Robinson’s lawyer described the accusations as “vile” and part of an attempt to extort $50 million from the 85-year-old icon. The plaintiffs, who have not previously come forward due to fear of repercussions, seek damages and a jury trial, while Robinson’s team plans to request the lawsuit’s dismissal and emphasizes the need for evidence to come to light.
