Jimmie Allen Found Liable in Sexual Assault Case

Editor’s Note: This report contains details of sexual assault.

Jimmie Allen has been found liable in a sexual assault case that had a woman accusing him of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2022, and secretly taping the incident on a hidden phone. This was the second of two sexual assault cases brought against the once promising country star.

Instead of a judge or a jury finding Jimmie Allen guilty, the Federal Court in Tennessee declared on Monday, August 18th that Allen forfeited his right to defend himself against the accusations by flouting multiple court-imposed deadlines and orders in the lawsuit as it worked through the discovery process.

“The defendants throughout have failed to comply with case management discovery deadlines and even failed to comply with specific orders of this court,” the judge said. “For these reasons, the plaintiff’s motion for sanctions and judgment against defendants Jimmie Allen and Aadyn’s Dad Touring Inc. is granted.”

Now, the plaintiff, known as Jane Doe 2, can pursue a request with the court for financial restitution for battery, assault, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress, which the court will weigh before coming to a final judgement.

Jane Doe 2 claims that she met Jimmie Allen on a flight. Afterwards, Allen’s bodyguard Charles Hurd followed her into the airport and told her that Allen wanted her phone number, which she provided. After months of calls and text messages between Allen and Jane Doe 2, they agreed to meet in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in July of 2022. Jane Doe 2 voluntarily met Allen in the bedroom, but allegedly told him she was not on birth control and repeatedly said she did not want him to ejaculate inside of her.

According to the alleged victim, Jimmie Allen said he wanted to get her pregnant, and ultimately did ejaculate inside of her despite her requests. Distressed by the incident, Jane Doe 2 said she became desperate to get a separate hotel room and to find a morning after pill. As she was gathering her belongings to leave the room, she discovered a cell phone set up in a closet focused on the bed and recording their interaction.

“She had not consented to being recorded and did not know what he intended to do with the recording,” Jane Doe 2’s lawyers say. “Plaintiff grabbed the phone, stopped the recording, and hit delete. However, she could not further access the phone without his passcode and knew that the video would still exist in his deleted items folder.”

While Jimmie Allen was passed out, Jane Doe 2 took the phone with her, booked a new flight to her home in Sacramento, California, and gave the phone over to the local police when she arrived. The local police then told the alleged victim to report the incident to the Las Vegas Police Department.

Along with finding Jimmie Allen liable, the court also determined Aadyn’s Dad Touring liable as well—the company that employed Allen’s bodyguard, Charles Hurd. Allen had been accused throughout the process of delaying the lawsuit, including not turning over records, and changing lawyers four times as a delay tactic.

In March of 2024, Jimmie Allen settled the first of the two sexual assault cases for an undisclosed amount.

On May 11th, 2023, Jimmie Allen’s former day-to-day manger filed suit in Tennessee and accused the singer of scores of incidents where she was allegedly raped and sexually assaulted over multiple months, including during trips to prominent television appearances and other events. This included one incident where she woke up naked in a hotel room in severe pain, bleeding vaginally, and not being able to recall anything from the previous evening. Jimmie Allen was beside her in bed, and insisting she take a morning after pill. The victim says this is how she lost her virginity.

Further incidents were also chronicled in a detailed article in Variety, including an incident where the alleged victim sought medical treatment at a hospital, and says Jimmie Allen took video and nude photos of her to coerce her silence, and to use as blackmail against her. For Jimmie Allen’s part, he acknowledged a sexual relationship with the victim, but claims it was consensual.

Allen was married at the time, but announced his separation from his wife shortly before the allegations came to light. It was also revealed that Allen had fathered twins with another woman while he was married.
