Global News
DeMario Jackson is being sued for sexual battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress by two unnamed women who claim to have met him online.
Former Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise cast member DeMario Jackson has been accused of sexual assault.
The reality TV star is being sued for sexual battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a lawsuit filed by two unnamed women who claim to have met Jackson, 35, online.
The women, known only as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, are seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
Jackson’s lawyer, Walter Mosley, provided a statement to Entertainment Tonight following the official court filing on Tuesday.
“The allegations brought against him are completely unfounded,” Mosley wrote. “As the Plaintiffs’ own complaint clearly states, the police, who DeMario fully cooperated with over three years ago, found these women’s accusations to have no merit.”
Police refused to pursue the matter, Mosley claimed.
“In the days to come, we will release the evidence we shared with the police at the time of the alleged incidents,” he said. “Unfortunately, DeMario and I will have to take up this fight again to clear his name.”
Mosley wrote that he expects to have the same “name-clearing result.”
