- Terrance “T.A.” Dixon filed the suit June 19 in the Southern District of New York claiming Fat Joe forced him into thousands of degrading sexual acts under duress.
- Dixon’s 157-page complaint alleges the rapper engaged in sexual relations with three minors aged 15 and 16, arranging travel and cosmetic procedures for the underage girls.
- The filing invokes civil RICO and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act against Fat Joe and associates Pete “Pistol Pete” Torres and Richard “Rich Player” Jospitre for operating a criminal enterprise.
- Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is named for allegedly concealing, transferring and manipulating Dixon’s authorship rights and royalty interests to suppress his contributions.
- Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, has denied the claims as fabricated and described the lawsuit as an extortionate retaliation following his April defamation suit.
