Interscope co-founder Jimmy Iovine has been sued by an anonymous person for sexually abusing and harassing a woman in 2007.
According to Pitchfork, a summons for Iovine was filed on Wednesday (November 22) in Supreme Court of the State of New York County. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims that she was "sexually abused, forcibly touched, and subjected to sexual harassment and retaliation" in August 2007.
Iovine is being sued for assault and battery, as well as violations of the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act and the New York City Human Rights Law.
A spokesperson for Iovine responded to the lawsuit, stating that he was "shocked and baffled" by the allegations. They added, "No one has ever made a claim like this against Jimmy Iovine, nor have we been contacted or made aware of any complaint by anyone, including this unknown plaintiff prior to now."
