Smokey Robinson
fifth Alleged Victim Goes To Police …
Claims Sexual Battery
Published
A fifth girl accusing Smokey Robinson of sexual battery has formally come ahead and filed a police report … TMZ has discovered.
Law enforcement sources inform us the lady spoke with a deputy final Wednesday on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Malibu/Lost Hills station, the place she formally reported her allegations in opposition to the Motown singer.
We’re instructed all 5 accusers have filed reviews with LASD.
As we first reported, Robinson grew to become the topic of a criminal investigation by the division’s Special Victims Bureau in May, after 4 ladies got here ahead accusing him of sexual assault.
Robinson’s legal professional, Christopher Frost tells TMZ … “It’s not surprising to us that in the context of very public allegations by the four interconnected Jane Does and their shared attorneys, no matter how untrue, news like this might emerge. It’s one of the risks of being a celebrity, that others will take the same approach.”
He continues, “Our focus is on exposing the falsity of the Doe lawsuit, where the Does and their lawyers have taken a hit and run approach — making allegations against a beloved 85-year-old cultural icon and subsequently refusing to reveal their identities or unequivocally sit for a deposition, where the truth can actually be determined.”
Previously Frost instructed us the police reviews have been solely filed after the ladies filed a $50 million civil lawsuit in opposition to Smokey … and he recommended it was a strategic transfer, not a reliable declare. He mentioned Robinson welcomed the investigation which is is ongoing.
We’ve reached out to John Harris and Herbert Hayden, the attorneys representing the alleged first 4 victims … up to now, no phrase again.
