Rapper’s bodyguard’s accuser drops drugging, sexual assault lawsuit

A woman has dropped her lawsuit alleging she was drugged and sexually assaulted by rapper Rick Ross’ bodyguard during last year’s Grammy weekend.

Attorney Okorie Okorocha, on behalf of the plaintiff identified only as Jane Doe, asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John Doyle to grant his client’s request that the case be dismissed.

The court papers filed March 16 did not state whether a settlement was reached or if the woman was not pursuing the case for other reasons. Okorocha could not be immediately reached Tuesday for comment.

The suit filed last September alleged sexual battery, sexual harassment, false imprisonment and negligent supervision and named as defendants Ross, security guard Thaddeus “Black” James, Warner Music Group Corp. and Maybach Music Group.

The plaintiff said she was at the W Hotel in Los Angeles in February 2015 when Ross  and his crew invited her to attend an industry party put on by the Cannibus Cup, in which the rapper performed on behalf of Warner Music and Maybach Music.

She rode in a van to the event with Ross and several others, according to the lawsuit. During the drive back to the W Hotel after the party, she claims she drank some champagne that James poured her, then became dizzy and lost consciousness.

She alleged that James roused her after they reached the hotel and gave her a key to his room, saying she could stay there until she felt better. The plaintiff said she was helped by another guest to James’ room, where she again passed out.

The plaintiff woke up the next morning “feeling intensely ill and noting that her clothes had been jostled, and that she had had a sexual encounter while unconscious,” Doyle wrote in a recent ruling in the case.
