The lawsuits against Trey Songz, whose legal name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson, include multiple civil sexual assault claims filed by women between 2020 and 2023, a Las Vegas beating suit brought by a police officer, and a battery case tied to a 2018 Detroit concert. Alongside the civil docket, he has been arrested several times, most recently in Manhattan in December 2025 on assault and felony criminal mischief charges. Most of the civil cases have ended in confidential settlements or dismissals; the New York criminal case and a Kansas City lawsuit he himself filed were active in 2026.
Sexual Assault Civil Suits
Four women have sued Neverson in civil court over alleged sexual misconduct between 2013 and 2018. No criminal sexual assault charges have been filed against him in any jurisdiction based on the available record.
The 2016 West Hills House Party Case
A woman identified as Jane Doe sued Neverson in Los Angeles Superior Court in February 2023, alleging he raped her at a house party in West Hills on March 24, 2016. According to the complaint, she used a ride-hailing service to leave and was taken to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, where staff reported the incident to police. She initially declined to cooperate, citing safety concerns.1
The suit sought $25 million and named Atlantic Records, manager Kevin Liles, and 300 Entertainment as co-defendants. Neverson’s attorney Michael G. Freedman said the plaintiff had “delayed an unreasonable period of time” and that any contact was consensual. An earlier version of the case, filed in February 2022, had been dismissed that November on statute-of-limitations grounds; the refiled version invoked California’s expanded lookback window for sexual assault claims. A conditional settlement was reported to Judge Jill Feeney in April 2024, and the September 2024 trial date was vacated.
The 2015 Bell Canyon Case
Two women, identified as Jane Doe A and Jane Doe B, sued in Los Angeles County Superior Court in October 2023, alleging Neverson drugged and sexually assaulted them at his Bell Canyon home on August 2, 2015. The complaint alleged the women awoke naked and were subjected to forced oral sex, digital penetration, and biting. Freedman said the defense looked “forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court.”
The Jauhara Jeffries Case
Jauhara Jeffries sued Neverson and Miami nightclub E11even over an incident in the early hours of January 1, 2018. She alleged that after meeting the singer at a New Year’s Eve party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs, she went to E11even, where Neverson non-consensually penetrated her with his fingers on the dance floor. She also alleged she was forcibly removed from his vehicle and abandoned on the street after refusing to stop recording him.
Jeffries first filed in 2020 as a Jane Doe, seeking $10 million. That version was dismissed without prejudice for a technical error, and she refiled seeking more than $20 million. Weeks before a scheduled October 2025 trial, the parties reached a confidential settlement. Judge Antonio Arzola dismissed the case on September 9, 2025, retaining jurisdiction to enforce the agreement.
The 2013 Connecticut Pool Party Case
A separate Jane Doe sued in the Central District of California in June 2023, alleging Neverson pulled down her bikini top and exposed her breast at a “Liquid Sundays with Trey Songz” event on April 25, 2013. The court dismissed the case on November 16, 2023, ruling the claims were time-barred. The plaintiff had not shown a “cover up” of the kind required to revive expired claims under California’s lookback statute; her own reliance on publicly available news reports about Neverson, the court noted, undercut any argument that evidence had been concealed.
The Dylan Gonzalez Allegation
Former UNLV basketball player Dylan Gonzalez publicly accused Neverson in December 2021 of raping her at a Las Vegas hotel, retaining attorneys Ariel Mitchell and George Vrabeck and indicating she intended to pursue a civil claim. A representative for Neverson said he was “confident in the legal process.” The record does not show that a formal lawsuit was filed or resolved. A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department sexual assault investigation tied to Neverson’s birthday celebrations at The Cosmopolitan that same month was closed in April 2022 without charges, with police citing insufficient evidence and inconsistent witness testimony.
Assault and Battery Suits
The Cosmopolitan Beating Suit
Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer, sued Neverson in Clark County District Court in June 2023, alleging Neverson and his security guards beat him at The Cosmopolitan on November 28, 2021. Dunn said he was attacked after trying to reach his wife, who had reported being held against her will in a hotel room.
In October 2024, Judge Jacob Reynolds entered an $11.2 million default judgment against Neverson, covering medical expenses, pain and suffering, punitive damages, and prejudgment interest. Neverson’s lawyers argued he had not been aware of the lawsuit, and in January 2025 Judge Reynolds dismissed the default and gave the defense 30 days to respond. Neverson denied the allegations and called the incident a “set-up orchestrated by Dunn.” A January 2026 court filing said a confidential settlement was expected by March 16, 2026; whether it was finalized after that date is not confirmed in the record.
The Detroit Concert Battery Suit
Robert Avery and Andrew Potter sued Neverson in the Eastern District of Michigan over a 2018 Detroit concert. The parties stipulated that Neverson threw a microphone stand that struck Potter. Potter’s claims were resolved through a confidential settlement in February 2020. As of a February 2023 ruling, Avery’s assault and battery claim remained pending trial.
Criminal Arrests and Charges
Detroit, 2016
Neverson was arrested at Joe Louis Arena in December 2016 and charged with aggravated assault and assaulting a police officer. He pleaded guilty in August 2017 to two counts of disturbing the peace, with no jail time, 18 months of probation, anger management classes, and compensation.
Domestic Violence Arrest, 2018
Neverson was arrested in March 2018 after Andrea Buera accused him of repeatedly punching and choking her at a Hollywood Hills party the previous month. Buera obtained a restraining order and reported being treated for a concussion. Neverson was released on $50,000 bail and denied the allegations on social media, saying he was “being lied on and falsely accused for someone’s personal gain.” Prosecutors declined to file felony charges, and misdemeanor charges were later dropped for insufficient evidence.
Arrowhead Stadium, 2021
During the AFC Championship game in Kansas City on January 24, 2021, Neverson was arrested after an altercation with police. Authorities said he refused to follow COVID-19 protocols and stadium rules, punched an officer, and placed the officer in a headlock. He was jailed overnight on allegations of trespassing, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. In April 2021, the Jackson County prosecutor’s office declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence.
Manhattan, December 2025
Neverson was arrested in Manhattan on December 14, 2025, and arraigned on charges from two separate incidents earlier that month. Prosecutors say he assaulted a worker at Dramma Night Club in Times Square on December 4, producing five misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment. In a separate incident at Mira, a Midtown hookah lounge, he allegedly destroyed property worth more than $1,500, producing a felony criminal mischief charge that carries up to seven years in prison. He was released on his own recognizance, a nightclub worker was granted an order of protection, and his next court date was set for February 2026.
Neverson’s Own Lawsuit
In January 2026, Neverson sued the Kansas City Police Department, stadium operator GEHA, and Whelan Event Services in Jackson County Circuit Court over the 2021 Arrowhead arrest. He alleges he was heckled by fans and that police and security used excessive force, wrongfully arrested him, and failed to protect him. He seeks unspecified damages for physical injuries, emotional distress, and damage to his professional reputation. The KCPD declined to comment, and no hearing had been scheduled as of mid-2026.
How the Defense Has Fought the Civil Cases
Neverson’s civil defense has leaned heavily on statute-of-limitations arguments, winning dismissals in the 2013 pool-party case and an earlier version of the 2016 house-party suit. His attorneys, including Jeffrey A. Neiman and Derick Vollrath in the Jeffries case and Michael Freedman in others, have argued plaintiffs waited unreasonably long and are exploiting California’s expanded lookback window. Freedman called the 2015 Bell Canyon suit “yet another example of nearly decade-old allegations being repurposed to take advantage of California’s constitutionally questionable new look back window.” Neverson has generally denied wrongdoing through representatives rather than making detailed public statements.
Discipline of a Plaintiffs’ Attorney
Ariel Mitchell, who represented Jeffries and co-represented Gonzalez, faced her own bar discipline arising from the Neverson litigation. A potential witness, Mariah Thielen, signed a sworn 2021 declaration alleging Mitchell had offered her compensation to corroborate a plaintiff’s claims. Neverson’s team moved to dismiss the Jeffries case as a sanction for witness tampering; the trial court denied the motion, finding the evidence insufficient.
The Florida Bar pursued a separate investigation, filing a formal complaint in July 2025 focused not on the underlying bribery allegation but on false statements Mitchell allegedly made to the court, the media, and the Bar about the investigation’s status. A restaurant receipt contradicted her account of her meeting with Thielen. Mitchell pleaded guilty to violations involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, and misrepresentation. On March 12, 2026, the Supreme Court of Florida approved a 75-day suspension, mandatory ethics coursework, and $3,175 in disciplinary costs.
