\n\tTrey Songz has reached a confidential settlement to end a lawsuit claiming he sexually assaulted a woman at a Miami nightclub on New Year\u2019s Eve in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe R&B singer (Tremaine Neverson) was facing assault and battery claims from Jauhara Jeffries, who alleges Songz non-consensually penetrated her with his fingers while they were dancing at E11even Miami in the early hours of Jan. 1, 2018. Songz denied ever assaulting Jeffries.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pair had been gearing up to go to trial next month alongside E11even Miami, which was accused in Jeffries\u2019 lawsuit of negligently serving alcohol to Songz despite his public history of substance abuse. But new docket entries in Florida court say Jeffries, Songz and the club have all reached a settlement to end the litigation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis court has been advised that the matter has been settled as to all parties and therefore, it is hereby ordered and adjudged that this case is dismissed,\u201d wrote Judge Antonio Arzola on Tuesday (Sept. 9). \u201cThe court reserves jurisdiction to enforce the settlement and to enter orders necessary to this enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe terms of the settlement have not been made public, as is typical for out-of-court resolutions. Jeffries\u2019 lawyer, Ariel Mitchell<\/strong>, tells Billboard<\/em> on Wednesday (Sept. 10), \u201cI can only comment that the matter has been resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReps for Songz and E11even Miami did not immediately return requests for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tSongz has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct over the years. The singer previously settled claims that he assaulted a woman at a Los Angeles house party in 2016, and he\u2019s set to go to trial next year over a separate Las Vegas incident from 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\tJeffries first filed her lawsuit in 2020, and it had been scheduled to go to trial in Miami this October before a settlement was reached. The case had been muddled by allegations from Songz\u2019s legal team that Mitchell, Jeffries\u2019 attorney, attempted to bribe a witness into backing her client\u2019s version of the events at E11even Miami.<\/p>\n

\n\tMitchell has strongly denied these claims, and Judge Arzola ultimately declined to issue penalties earlier this year after finding that there wasn\u2019t conclusive evidence of bribery in what amounted to a \u201cclassic \u2018she-said versus she-said\u2019 scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, Mitchell is facing disciplinary action from the Florida Bar for falsely telling media outlets, including Billboard<\/em>, back in 2022, that she\u2019d already been cleared of wrongdoing related to the bribery allegations. In reality, says the Florida Bar, Mitchell was still under investigation at the time of these press comments.<\/p>\n
