Overview

  • Terrance “T. A.” Dixon filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of New York on June 19, seeking $20 million for alleged labor exploitation, financial fraud and wage theft.
  • The 157-page federal complaint carries a trigger warning and details over 4,000 coerced sex acts performed under duress and surveillance.
  • Dixon alleges he witnessed Fat Joe engage in sexual relations with three underage girls, one aged 15 and two aged 16, and claims the rapper funded their travel, medical procedures and living expenses.
