\n\tJimmie Allen must pay $1.8 million to a woman who sued him over accusations that he sexually assaulted and secretly filmed her in a Las Vegas hotel room, a judge ruled Thursday (June 18).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe once-rising star was held liable by default for assault and invasion of privacy in August after he ignored multiple court deadlines. That set the stage for a ruling deciding how much Allen owes the woman (identified only as Jane Doe) in legal damages.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an order on Thursday, Judge Aleta A. Trauger said Allen must pay the accuser $597,000 in compensatory damages and another $1.2 million in punitive damages. In doing so, the judge adopted an earlier report by a magistrate judge that said the \u201creprehensibility\u201d of Allen\u2019s actions was \u201csevere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe evidence shows that Mr. Allen intentionally and surreptitiously filmed his sexual encounter with plaintiff without her consent, and that he ejaculated inside of plaintiff without wearing a condom when plaintiff did not consent to him doing so and asked him not to do so,\u201d the report reads. \u201cThese intentional acts caused plaintiff to suffer extreme emotional distress and trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAn attorney for Allen did not immediately return requests for comment. In a statement to Billboard<\/em>, Jane Doe\u2019s attorney, Elizabeth Fegan<\/strong>, said the damages total \u201crecognizes the profound trauma Allen inflicted on Jane Doe 2 for his own sexual gratification\u201d and \u201cunderscores a fundamental principle at the heart of this case: it is never acceptable to record sexual activity without a partner\u2019s consent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThursday\u2019s ruling came in one of two civil sexual assault lawsuits brought against Allen in 2023, derailing the singer\u2019s promising career after a run of No. 1 hits on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Country Airplay chart. He was subsequently dropped by his label, BBR Music Group, as well as his booking agency, publicist and management company.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first case accused Allen of sexually harassing and abusing his day-to-day manager over a period of 18 months from 2020 to 2022. Allen denied the claims and countersued his ex-manager for defamation; that case was settled in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second lawsuit \u2014 the one at issue on Thursday \u2014 was filed by an unnamed woman who claims the two had consensual sex, but that Allen ejaculated inside her without a condom despite her explicit protests. She says she later discovered that he had surreptitiously set up his cellphone to record the entire encounter without her knowledge.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer denied the claims, saying she had consented to the video recording. But things didn\u2019t go so smoothly in court, with the singer cycling through lawyers and blowing past deadlines for producing evidence and sitting for a deposition. His last filing in the case came in February 2025, when his lawyer said he was facing \u201ceconomic hardships as a result of this litigation\u201d and that he was attempting to retain pro bono lawyers.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn August, the judge got tired of waiting and held Allen liable by default for battery, assault, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress. In later filings, the woman\u2019s attorneys said Allen ought to pay $1.8 million for \u201cpredatory conduct\u201d that had left their client \u201ctraumatized\u201d and \u201cviolated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a May report, a magistrate judge recommended that the request be granted, including damages of $253,142 for emotional distress; $3,505 to pay for past treatment; and $340,200 to pay for future treatment; along with $1,193,694 in punitive damages. That recommendation was confirmed Thursday by Judge Trauger, the district judge overseeing the case.<\/p>\n
