American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe has been accused of sexual assault for the third time in less than two months. “What should have been a quick two-minute ride ended up being a ten-to-fifteen minute sexual assault and battery in which Plaintiff was trapped in Lythgoe’s vehicle,” alleges a battery, gender violence and emotional distress complaint from a Jane Doe against the former So You Think You Can Dance judge. “Lythgoe’s sexual assault and battery of Plaintiff left her feeling horribly violated, shocked, guilty, humiliated, and embarrassed.
Such mental anguish and emotional distress were severe and lasting to this day,” the February 17 filed jury trial seeking suit adds in the barest of language.
Having started with a chance meeting in February 2016 in a Beverly Hills hotel bar with Jane Doe and her daughter and two friends, the alleged attack becomes all the viler when you add in that Lythgoe’s driver was supposedly behind the wheel the entire time taking the plaintiff and the Idol boss through the nearby hills against Jane Doe’s expressed wishes.
