In Lawsuit, 2 More Women Accuse Rapper Nelly Of Sexual Assault
January 25, 20185:33 PM ET
The rapper Nelly has been accused of sexual assault by two more women, whose testimonies were included in a civil lawsuit filed by a woman who is suing him for sexual assault and defamation.
The rapper, who performed the hits "Hot In Herre" and "Ride Wit Me" and was born Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., was arrested in Washington state in October over an allegation that he raped a woman on his tour bus. The woman was later identified as 21-year-old Monique Greene. Nelly denies the allegation.
Criminal charges are not being pursued in the case, but NPR has obtained a copy of an amended civil lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of King County, Wash., on Jan. 22. In the suit, Greene asks for a judge to prohibit Nelly from assaulting more women, in addition to asking for damages.
The suit includes testimony from two anonymous women whom Nelly allegedly also sexually assaulted in two separate incidents that took place in the U.K., both before and after the alleged rape on his tour bus. The stories demonstrate a pattern of assault, Greene's lawyer alleges.
