A woman files suit Wednesday alleging that the rapper sexually assaulted her at a party in Encino in June.
After a major-label pop career went nowhere, Alex Aiono just self-released “The Gospel at 23,” a full-on gospel album that chronicles his bumpy Hollywood ride.“She’s terrified,” said Neama Rahmani, the woman’s attorney. “There’s a significant disparity in wealth and power. He’s a famous artist, he had security, there were weapons on the premises. She is someone who doesn’t have those resources and is also concerned about safety and retaliation.
While the suit will seek yet-unspecified damages, Rahmani said the suit was mainly intended to speed up the criminal investigation. “I don’t want to disparage law enforcement, but I’ve never seen a case handled like this,” Rahmani said. “It’s been a very drawn-out investigation and not much has been done. I’m hoping that after beginning discovery in this suit, other witnesses will come forward. We’re committed to supporting the criminal investigation, but the time for waiting for LAPD has passed.
