Tommy Lee sexual assault lawsuit provisionally dismissed

Tommy Lee over an alleged sexual assault in a helicopter.It comes after a woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claimed in a lawsuit last December that the Mötley Crüe drummer assaulted her in 2003, having lured her to his personal helicopter “under false pretences”.In the filing, she claimed that went on a 40-minute trip from San Diego to Van Nuys with Lee’s personal helicopter pilot David Martz before Lee joined them when they landed.She went on to allege that the two men “consumed several alcoholic beverages, smoked marijuana, and snorted cocaine” before Lee “then proceeded to sexually assault [her] by forcibly groping, kissing, penetrating her with his fingers, and attempting to force her to perform oral copulation.”As a result of the alleged assault, Doe said she had suffered severe emotional, physical, and psychological distress and that she didn’t report it because she believed it was an isolated event and that police wouldn’t take her seriously.Yesterday (May 6), Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Holly J. Fujie sided with Lee after the drummer’s lawyer argued that the claims didn’t qualify for revival under the law the Jane Doe plaintiff used when she filed her original lawsuit, reports Rolling Stone.The law, known as the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, requires that plaintiffs show that some type of “legal entity” engaged in a cooperative effort to hide evidence of their alleged sexual assault.Lee’s lawyer A.

Unpacking Motley Crue’s Mess: Manager Slams Mick Mars’ ‘Smear Campaign’; Guitarist’s Lawyer Says He Is ‘Tired of Being Bullied’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It may take a greater elixir than anything Dr. Feelgood has to offer to elicit positive vibes in the war of words — and writs — between Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars and the other three members of the group. Following a headline-making lawsuit filed by Mars against the band last week, lawyers or managers for both sides have spoken with Variety at length about the positions they are doubling down on. If you had to sum it up in a hard-rock song, it might be: “Grievances Grievances Grievances.” Until now, the Crue camp had only issued brief statements and a frustrated tweet from Nikki Sixx. But the band’s manager of 29 years, Allen Kovac, was so angered by an interview Mars gave Variety after the suit was filed that he agreed to go on record addressing what he believes are the musician’s most scurrilous accusations — including whether or not the group’s performances are largely on tape. “I have a lot of regret that I’m having to do this,” the attorney says, pointing out that he talked Nikki Sixx, the group’s unofficial leader, out of talking to the press himself, wanting the bassist to keep “taking the high road.”
