Trey Songz has reportedly settled a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault at a house party. Last February, a woman sued the singer under the name Jane Doe for allegedly sexually assaulting her in 2016.
More About The Settlement
She was initially seeking $25 million for mental and emotional distress, but according to Radar Online, the settlement amount has not been disclosed. Trey Songz reportedly informed the court of his conditional settlement with Jane Doe. They reportedly met in a Los Angeles nightclub.
News of the settlement comes months before their court hearing on September 16, 2024. The court will vacate the date due to the settlement.

Trey Songz has not commented publicly on settling the lawsuit. However, the paperwork reportedly said:
“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. A request for dismissal will be filed no later than June 10, 2024.”
It’s unclear what these agreed conditions are. It’s also unclear if Trey admitted guilt or fault as part of the settlement. Last February, he denied the accusations, calling them “lies” in a social media post.
Lawsuit Claimed Trey Songz Did This
Editor’s Note: The following content recounts a graphic sexual encounter. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, help is available at 800-656-HOPE (4673).
Jane Doe filed the lawsuit twice, with the second time being last year. She also named Atlantic Record. Trey’s manager Kevin Lilies and 300 Entertainment as defendants.
In the paperwork, the woman explained that Trey invited her to a private party and at one point invited her upstairs for what she believed was a consensual “sexual encounter.” Instead, Jane Doe accused Trey Songz of a brutal sexual assault after she had denied his suggestion of another form of sex.
“[Doe] alleges that after entering the upstairs bedroom, DEFENDANT SONGZ immediately threw [Doe] to the ground, pulled her dress up, ripped her panties off, pinned [Doe] face down on the floor, scratching her elbows and knees, and forced his penis into [Doe’s] anus without [Doe’s] consent, causing severe physical and emotional injury. [Doe] screamed in pain, fought to get free, and begged Songs to stop but was overpowered by DEFENDANT SONGZ,” the lawsuit read.
Jane Doe says she left immediately after the assault. Her rideshare driver reportedly noticed her distress and took her to a local hospital. She received medical treatment and sexual assault counseling.
However, she brought forth the lawsuit because of the mental and emotional distress from the alleged encounter.
In February of this year, two women dropped a lawsuit against the singer that accused him of sexually assaulting them at a house party in 2015.
