Actor Jamie Foxx is currently facing a lawsuit over an alleged sexual assault that took place in 2015 at a New York City rooftop bar. Variety reports that the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, has accused Foxx of inappropriate conduct at the Catch NYC lounge. According to the lawsuit, the incident unfolded when Foxx and the co-founder of Catch Hospitality Group, Mark Birnbaum, were seated next to Jane Doe and her friend. Following a request for a photo with Foxx, Jane Doe alleges that the actor took her to a more secluded part of the rooftop, complimented her appearance, and then proceeded to touch her without consent.
The lawsuit, filed under the provisions of New York’s Adult Survivors Act (Asa), seeks compensation for the plaintiff’s pain, suffering, and emotional distress. This act, enacted in May 2022, allows for the filing of civil suits related to sexual offenses beyond the standard statute of limitations.
