Smokey Robinson
fifth Alleged Sufferer Goes To Police …
Claims Sexual Battery
Revealed
A fifth girl accusing Smokey Robinson of sexual battery has formally come ahead and filed a police report … TMZ has realized.
Regulation enforcement sources inform us the lady spoke with a deputy final Wednesday on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Division’s Malibu/Misplaced Hills station, the place she formally reported her allegations towards the Motown singer.
We’re advised all 5 accusers have filed stories with LASD.
As we first reported, Robinson turned the topic of a prison investigation by the division’s Particular Victims Bureau in Might, after 4 girls got here ahead accusing him of sexual assault.
Robinson’s legal professional, Christopher Frost tells TMZ … “It’s not surprising to us that in the context of very public allegations by the four interconnected Jane Does and their shared attorneys, no matter how untrue, news like this might emerge. It’s one of the risks of being a celebrity, that others will take the same approach.”
He continues, “Our focus is on exposing the falsity of the Doe lawsuit, where the Does and their lawyers have taken a hit and run approach — making allegations against a beloved 85-year-old cultural icon and subsequently refusing to reveal their identities or unequivocally sit for a deposition, where the truth can actually be determined.”
Beforehand Frost advised us the police stories had been solely filed after the ladies filed a $50 million civil lawsuit towards Smokey … and he advised it was a strategic transfer, not a official declare. He mentioned Robinson welcomed the investigation which is is ongoing.
We have reached out to John Harris and Herbert Hayden, the attorneys representing the alleged first 4 victims … up to now, no phrase again.
