**Motown Icon Denies Allegations as Four Housekeepers File Suit for Damages**
The legendary Motown artist Smokey Robinson, 85, is currently facing a criminal investigation in Los Angeles due to serious allegations of sexual assault made against him. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has confirmed that they are conducting an inquiry into these claims, which are said to be in the "early stages" as investigation efforts continue.
The allegations emerged following a lawsuit filed last week by four anonymous women, who are identified only by pseudonyms Jane Doe 1, 2, 3, and 4. In their 27-page complaint submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court, the plaintiffs, who are all of Hispanic descent, allege a series of incidents dating back to 2006, claiming Robinson pressured them into sexual acts. They are seeking damages amounting to at least $50 million and have requested a jury trial.
Robinson's attorney, Christopher Frost, has vehemently denied the allegations, suggesting that they are a coordinated effort to harm Robinson's reputation and wealth. He welcomes the police investigation, asserting that the truth will inevitably emerge. Frost described the lawsuit as a desperate attempt to sway public opinion, arguing that the claims are "manufactured" and designed to tarnish both Robinson's and his wife's good names.
In response to the lawsuit, Robinson's legal team characterized the press conference held by the women's lawyers as a "bizarre" attempt to involve the public in the media spectacle surrounding the case. They emphasize the importance of awaiting concrete evidence before drawing conclusions about the accusations.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, through its Special Victims Bureau, stated that they are actively pursuing the investigation but have no further comments at this time. Robinson, who is renowned for his work with Motown and has penned hits like "My Girl" and "Tears of a Clown," faces a significant challenge as he works to clear his name amid these serious allegations.
