Hip-Hop industry legend and CEO of 300 Entertainment, Kevin Liles, is attempting to have a sexual assault lawsuit against him dismissed. The lawsuit, filed in February 2025, was brought by a woman who alleges that Liles raped her in 2002 while he was an executive at Def Jam Recordings.
Kevin Liles’ Legal Argument
In newly filed legal documents, Liles argues that the case should be dismissed because the woman waited too long to come forward with her claims, citing the statute of limitations. He also denies the allegations, calling them “entirely false” and pointing out that the lawsuit lacks specific details necessary to proceed.
Allegations of Harassment and Assault
The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claims she worked as an assistant under Liles at Def Jam. She alleges that Liles sexually harassed her by pressing his body against hers and making unwanted physical advances, including touching her breasts and buttocks. After she rejected his advances, she claims that he raped her.
Liles Denies the Claims
When the lawsuit was initially filed, Liles denied the accusations, calling them false. Now, he is taking steps to have the case thrown out, notifying the court of his intention to file for a dismissal.
What Happens Next?
The legal proceedings are ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether the court will allow the lawsuit to continue or dismiss it based on Liles’ arguments. If the case moves forward, both sides will present their evidence and arguments in court.
