Trey Songz is no longer potentially on the hook for $10 million, as a sexual assault lawsuit against him has been dismissed due to a failure on the part of the alleged victim.
TMZ has obtained a copy of the judge’s order to dismiss, which was filed on Friday (January 26).

The filing happened because the defendant — listed as “Jane Doe” in the documents — failed to reply to the “Bottoms Up” singer’s motion to dismiss on time. It’s unclear whether the alleged victim will be able to file her lawsuit again, or whether it has been dismissed with prejudice.
The suit was filed in June of last year, with a Jane Doe alleging Trey Songz exposed her breasts at a pool party at a Connecticut casino in 2013.

In documents obtained by Radar Online back in September, Songz and his legal team argued that the case was way past the statute of limitations of three years.
The woman claimed the alleged assault happened in August 2013 at the Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut.

The lawsuit demanded $10 million for sexual battery and assault, which included claims that Trey Songz allegedly grabbed and exposed her breast at the pool party after she merely tried to get a picture with the singer.
In a video captured by a friend of the accuser — who subsequently sent the video to TMZ — the singer (real name Tremaine Neverson) can be seen grabbing the accuser’s bathing suit top, dropping it, and exposing her breast.

“In what appeared to be an attempt to further terrify and humiliate [the woman], [Trey Songz] followed the assault with a degrading chant, ‘Titty in The Open … Titty in The Open,’” read the court documents.
Jane Doe also named Kevin Liles, Atlantic Records, and Trey Songz’s production company in the lawsuit, claiming that they were “negligent in their supervision of their client” and thus responsible for his actions.

“Entities such as Atlantic Records and key executives like Kevin Liles must reassess their obligations toward ensuring the safety and dignity of everyone at any event associated with their artists,” the accuser’s attorney, George Vrabeck, told Rolling Stone. “My client demands transparency, accountability, and a prioritization of safety over profits.”
However, it’s worth noting that Jane Doe reportedly demanded $5 million from Songz to make the case “go away” — an offer which he subsequently refused.
This isn’t the first time that Trey Songz has found himself on the receiving end of a sexual assault lawsuit. Back in November 2022, a rape civil case filed against the “Mr. Steal Your Girl” singer for an alleged rape he committed in 2016 was dropped after the statute of limitations ran out.
A woman under the alias of Jane Doe filed the complaint earlier this year claiming she initially had a “consensual” relationship with the R&B singer but claimed that Trey Songz became a “savage rapist” in March 2016. She alleged that TS anally raped her when she told him repeatedly to stop and was seeking $20 million in damages.

Trey’s legal team intercepted the filing and had the civil suit thrown out since the statute of limitations in California only lasts two years — so anything after March 2018 wouldn’t find Trey Songz liable.
