Rick James Estate Being Sued For $50 Million After Late Music Icon Accused of Rape

Rick James’ estate is being sued for $50 million. The iconic music figure, who passed away in August 2004, is now being accused of raping a 15-year-old girl back in 1979 at a group home in Buffalo, New York. The lawsuit is reportedly filed by unnamed victims and was registered under the Child Victims Act.

The lawsuit alleges Rick James was visiting the group home to see the operators of the house when the rape occurred. The affidavit reads,

“I did not know who Rick James was and shrugged and said I don’t know him,”

“Almost immediately, Rick James was very suggestive and inappropriate towards me. He made me feel very uncomfortable.”

The woman accusing Rick James of rape further alleges in the affidavit the deceased musician then came into her bedroom,

“He grabbed my hair and pushed my head into the pillow,”

“I tried to fight him off, but he told me to ‘shut up and quit moving or I’ll cut you.’ He violently ripped off my underwear and proceeded to violent rape me and ejaculate inside of me. He then threatened me that if I told anyone, he would know where to find me.”

The woman is suing the singer’s estate, the James Ambrose Johnson Jr. 1999 Trust, for $50 million. We’ll have more on this matter as the details become available.
