Kevin Liles Sued For Alleged 2002 Sexual Assault At Def Jam
Reportedly, Kevin Liles has been sued by a Jane Doe for sexual assault during her employment at Def Jam in the early 2000s.
The suit was filed under the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law, allowing survivors to file suit before March 1, 2025. Doe alleges that Liles sexually harassed her, making derogatory comments and escalating to physical assault, including rape, in 2002.
Doe’s attorney commended her bravery in seeking justice and encouraged others who may have been abused to come forward. Liles, who recently left his position at Warner Music, was previously named in a sexual assault lawsuit against Trey Songz, which was settled in 2024.
