A Seattle-based rapper named Raz Simone is being sued by five different women who have accused him of assault and sexual abuse.
According to multiple reports, the women were victims of a sex trafficking business that had been sanctioned by Raz Simone out of Las Vegas. One of the women, who goes by the nickname Pearl, claims that she narrowly escaped the monstrosity back in 2017. Pearl claims that when she was being held against her will by Raz Simone, he would often lock her up and force her to have sex if he deemed any of her actions as insubordinate.
In response, a police detective named Bill Guyer investigated Pearl's claims along with the accusations of the other women who were brave enough to step forward. Eventually, five women came forward and proceeded to file a civil lawsuit against their alleged captor.
Nevertheless, Raz Simone has lawyered up and maintained his innocence all along. In response to the allegations, the 32-year-old rapper said, "It’s been a plan they put together years back. The money's on the line, and they're using it like a class-action lawsuit."
Defense attorney Corrine Mullen echoed that sentiment and added, "This lawsuit seeks to sue a variety of people and entities in an effort to create a cohesive case but there isn't one here, and we have no doubt that the case will be dismissed on the merits."
As of now, all five of the plaintiffs are seeking $1 million dollars each from Raz Simone for pain, suffering, and emotional damages.
