Kevin Liles Seeks Dismissal of Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Kevin Liles, a prominent figure in the hip-hop industry, is seeking to have a sexual assault lawsuit against him dismissed, which dates back to 2002. The accuser, referred to as Jane Doe, alleges that Liles raped her after a series of unwanted sexual advances while working at Def Jam Recordings. Liles' legal team argues that the claims should be dismissed based on the statute of limitations, claiming the accusations are 'entirely false' and lacking sufficient detail. He has maintained his innocence since the lawsuit was filed earlier this year in February. In his motion, Liles emphasizes that the accusations do not meet the legal thresholds necessary to proceed. This lawsuit also implicates Def Jam Recordings and Universal Music Group for allegedly fostering a culture of harassment.
