Lawsuit alleges 14-year-old singer with major record deal was sexually abused by producer

Updated

An anonymous woman has filed a lawsuit alleging that she was sexually abused by a producer from "one of the most beloved, best-known and most valuable companies in the history of the world," TMZ reports.

The victim was 14 years old in 2005, when she was signed to a seven-album deal, the suit says. A man was then made her personal go-to producer as well as her mentor and agent.

In addition to making unwelcome comments, such as telling the girl that they were "soulmates," the producer allegedly initiated both vaginal and anal intercourse with her, which could be classified as rape, depending on age of consent laws, and allegedly drugged her before initiating anal intercourse on one occasion.

According to the woman, who is now in her late 20s, the producer also would allegedly "rub and fondle her genitals and body, digitally penetrate her, and he would orally copulate her and forced her to do the same to him."

The alleged sexual abuse took place over a two-year period at such places as the Staples Center and a music video set on the Warner Bros. studio lot. It's unclear whether it was the singer's own music video set.

It also remains unclear whether the singer recorded the seven albums promised in the 2005 deal and whether she still has a relationship with the large entertainment company that possibly employed her alleged abuser.

The producer also allegedly cozied up to the then teenager's mother to groom her into trusting him.

While the names of the defendants have not been made public, the woman is suing the perpetrator as well as multiple people she says enabled his behavior.
