Smokey Robinson
fifth Alleged Sufferer Goes To Police …
Claims Sexual Battery
Printed
A fifth girl accusing Smokey Robinson of sexual battery has formally come ahead and filed a police report … TMZ has discovered.
Regulation enforcement sources inform us the lady spoke with a deputy final Wednesday on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Division’s Malibu/Misplaced Hills station, the place she formally reported her allegations towards the Motown singer.
We’re advised all 5 accusers have filed studies with LASD.
As we first reported, Robinson grew to become the topic of a prison investigation by the division’s Particular Victims Bureau in Could, after 4 girls got here ahead accusing him of sexual assault.
Robinson’s lawyer, Christopher Frost tells TMZ … “It isn’t stunning to us that within the context of very public allegations by the 4 interconnected Jane Does and their shared attorneys, irrespective of how unfaithful, information like this would possibly emerge. It is one of many dangers of being a celeb, that others will take the identical strategy.”
He continues, “Our focus is on exposing the falsity of the Doe lawsuit, the place the Does and their legal professionals have taken a success and run strategy — making allegations towards a beloved 85-year-old cultural icon and subsequently refusing to disclose their identities or unequivocally sit for a deposition, the place the reality can truly be decided.”
Beforehand Frost advised us the police studies have been solely filed after the ladies filed a $50 million civil lawsuit towards Smokey … and he urged it was a strategic transfer, not a reliable declare. He stated Robinson welcomed the investigation which is is ongoing.
We have reached out to John Harris and Herbert Hayden, the attorneys representing the alleged first 4 victims … thus far, no phrase again.
