US EditionSmokey Robinson is under criminal investigation after housekeepers accuse him of sexual assault
- On May 15, 2025, authorities in Los Angeles initiated a criminal investigation into allegations of rape and sexual assault involving Motown legend Smokey Robinson.
- The investigation follows a lawsuit filed last week by four former housekeepers accusing Robinson of repeated assaults occurring between 2007 and 2024 while they worked for him.
- The accusers say Robinson sexually assaulted them in his Los Angeles home, with at least one woman alleging over 20 assaults, and all eventually quit due to the abuse and feared retaliation.
- The lawsuit seeks at least $50 million in damages, while Robinson's attorney, Christopher Frost, denied the claims, calling them "unadulterated avarice" and stating they "defy credulity."
- The investigation remains in its early stages, with Robinson's lawyers pledging cooperation and pursuing justice for potential other victims, while Frost expects a finding of no wrongdoing.
