Jimmie Allen accused of sexual assault and filming without consent in new lawsuit
This case has escalated with a second woman filing a lawsuit alleging sexual assault and non-consensual filming by country singer Jimmie Allen. According to the complaint filed Friday in a Tennessee federal court, the woman—identified only as “Jane Doe 2”—claims the singer secretly recorded their sexual encounter and assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel room. These allegations come weeks after a separate lawsuit from another woman who worked on Allen’s former management team accused him of rape and repeated sexual abuse. In response to the earlier allegations, Allen has been dropped by his publicist and suspended by his record label, talent agency and management.
Jane Doe 2’s complaint says the two first crossed paths on an airplane last year. After that encounter, Allen allegedly pursued contact, and the two spoke frequently by phone for roughly two months. They ultimately agreed to meet in Las Vegas, where the woman says the assault occurred.
Attorney says she has been approached by more accusers
The plaintiff is represented by attorney Elizabeth Fegan of Chicago-based firm FeganScott, who also represents the first woman to file suit against Allen. Fegan told reporters that detectives have contacted her client and that she is awaiting records from the police department related to the investigation.
Fegan has said that after the first lawsuit was filed, she was contacted by a friend who had been with Jane Doe 2 the night of the alleged incident in Las Vegas. That outreach, combined with news coverage of the earlier lawsuit, prompted Jane Doe 2 to come forward. Fegan added that other women have reached out to her firm, and she said, “We have spoken to more women, and I expect that there will be more lawsuits.”
In her lawsuit, Jane Doe 2 brings claims against Allen for battery, assault, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint also names Allen’s bodyguard and the bodyguard’s employer as defendants.
Jane Doe discovered a cell phone filming their encounter without her consent
According to the complaint, after the alleged assault Jane Doe 2 began to leave the hotel room and noticed a cell phone concealed in the closet, facing the bed. The suit alleges the phone had been recording the sexual encounter without her knowledge or consent. Distressed, she took the phone, left the room, and later handed it over to local police when she arrived home; the matter was then reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The filing describes the sequence of events in detail, stating that Allen sexually assaulted Jane Doe 2 in his hotel room and then passed out. The complaint says she discovered the video device while attempting to leave and, alarmed by the recording, kept the phone and sought help from a friend who arranged alternate accommodations.
Allen allegedly told Jane Doe he was separated from his wife
Jane Doe 2 says she first met Allen in May 2022 and did not realize he was a public figure at the time. The complaint asserts that Allen or his associates followed up after the encounter—one instance described in the filing involves the bodyguard approaching the woman in an airport to request her phone number for the singer. Over their subsequent conversations, she claims Allen led her to believe he was separated from his wife and spoke of a future together, including having children. The complaint notes that Allen and his wife publicly announced their separation and a pregnancy in April 2023.
When the woman traveled to Las Vegas to meet Allen, she says he assured her she would be booked into a separate room before they entered his hotel suite together. The lawsuit emphasizes that at no point did Allen disclose an intention to record their encounter, nor did he seek the woman’s consent to be videotaped.
Jane Doe repeatedly asked Allen to stop, but he refused
The complaint states that while Jane Doe 2 consented to sexual activity under certain conditions—specifically, that she was not on birth control and did not consent to penetration—Allen allegedly ignored her requests and proceeded to penetrate her without a condom. The suit claims she repeatedly revoked consent during the encounter and asked him to stop, but he refused.
After the incident, the filing says Allen passed out and could not be roused. As she left the room, the plaintiff discovered the phone recording their encounter and panicked. Crying and shaking, she took the device with her and later delivered it to police as part of her report. The lawsuit seeks damages and holds Allen, his bodyguard and the bodyguard’s employer responsible for the alleged conduct.
