Overview
- Mario Rodriguez filed a California state-court complaint alleging repeated sexual battery and assault between 2015 and 2019 at Perry’s Los Angeles home.
- The suit seeks at least $77 million in damages and also targets Lionsgate for allegedly turning a blind eye to misconduct.
- The complaint details incidents including attempts to unbuckle his pants and grabbing his genitals, and claims Perry later handed him $5,000 on two occasions.
- Perry’s attorney, Alex Spiro, denied the allegations and labeled the case a failed money grab; Lionsgate has not commented.
- Rodriguez is represented by the same lawyer as Derek Dixon, whose separate lawsuit was transferred to federal court in Georgia; no criminal charges have been reported.
