For the second time in less than a month, a woman has accused country singer Jimmie Allen of sexual assault.
The new allegation comes in a lawsuit filed Friday in Tennessee federal court. In the suit, obtained by Variety, a woman identified as “Jane Doe 2″ claims that Allen sexually assaulted her after she revoked consent, and that he secretly filmed their sexual encounter.
The woman says she met Allen — who made history as the first Black country star to hit No. 1 with a debut single — on a flight in May 2022 and gave her phone number to his bodyguard after they landed. She and Allen chatted via text and FaceTime for months before agreeing to meet in Las Vegas, the suit says.
Jane Doe 2 initially felt “comfortable and safe” and “willingly joined Allen in the bedroom” at a Las Vegas hotel, where she consented to having sex with the singer on certain conditions related to her not being on birth control, the lawsuit says.
“He told her he would respect her request,” the suit adds. “Yet, as their encounter progressed, Allen penetrated Plaintiff during sex with his penis and without a condom. Allen told Plaintiff he wanted to get her pregnant. Plaintiff said no. … He refused.”
Jane Doe 2 repeatedly asked Allen to stop, but he continued, the lawsuit alleges.
After he fell asleep, she noticed a phone in a closet and “panicked when she discovered that Allen had recorded her undressing and had recorded their sexual encounter and his assault on her,” the suit says.
The woman took the phone, flew home, and gave the phone to her local police department, which then contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, according to the suit.
Now Jane Doe 2 is suing Allen, his bodyguard, and the company that employed the bodyguard, claiming battery, assault, invasion of privacy and emotional distress.
Jane Doe 2′s attorney in the lawsuit is Elizabeth Fegan of the Chicago-based law firm FeganScott, who told Variety that detectives have reached out to the woman.
“Any partner or participant in sexual activity can revoke their consent at any time,” Fegan said. “Even if two people consent at the outset and begin to engage in sexual activity, either one of them can say, ‘No more,’ they can say, ‘Stop,’ and they can revoke consent. Thereafter, if the other person doesn’t stop, it is sexual assault.”
Fegan is also representing the first Jane Doe, a 25-year-old former manager who sued Allen and alleged that the singer raped, abused, and sexually harassed her, according to People. After the first lawsuit made headlines, Allen’s agency dropped him, his record label suspended him, and the CMA Fest canceled his closing-night concert. Allen has denied the first Jane Doe’s allegations.
In a statement to People, Fegan said she has been in touch with other women accusing Allen of assault. “Jane Doe 2′s filing demonstrates to me that there is a vivid, distinct pattern of behavior,” she said. “We intend to show it’s a pattern of deceit, manipulation, and ultimately of force.”
