Judge Enters Default Judgment Finding Jimmie Allen Liable in Civil Assault Case

The judge advanced the matter to a damages phase after finding persistent noncompliance with discovery orders.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Aleta A. Trauger ruled Allen and his touring company, Aadyn’s Dad Touring, liable for assault, battery, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
  • The default judgment followed missed deadlines, a skipped deposition, unpaid sanctions and attorney turnover that violated court directives.
  • The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, may now file a motion to determine monetary damages against Allen and Aadyn’s Dad Touring.
  • Doe’s suit centers on an alleged 2022 encounter in a Las Vegas hotel room and claims of a surreptitious recording; the complaint also names bodyguard Charles Hurd through his role with the touring company.
  • Allen has denied the allegations, his team did not immediately comment on the ruling, and the decision reflects a civil liability finding rather than a criminal conviction.
