Garth Brooks Seeks to Dismiss Sexual Assault Case and Change Venue

The country singer aims to move the lawsuit to federal court, challenging the allegations as a 'shakedown.'

  • Garth Brooks has filed a motion to dismiss a sexual assault and battery lawsuit and move the case from California to federal court in Mississippi.
  • The accuser, known as Jane Roe, claims Brooks assaulted her during a 2019 work trip and is seeking over $75,000 in damages.
  • Brooks has denied the allegations, asserting they are part of an extortion attempt to extract millions of dollars from him.
  • Roe's legal team accuses Brooks of using his resources to intimidate and control his alleged victim, while Brooks claims the lawsuit is defamatory.
  • A hearing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for December 9, while Brooks continues to perform at his Caesars Palace residency.
