Smokey Robinson under criminal investigation by LA sheriff for sexual assault allegations

Smokey Robinson, the renowned singer, is facing an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department following sexual assault allegations made by four anonymous former employees. The allegations were included in a lawsuit demanding $50 million in damages. Robinson's attorney has stated that they believe the lawsuit is an attempt to damage Robinson's reputation and emphasizes their confidence in proving his innocence. The investigation is ongoing, while the plaintiffs remain anonymous, leading to further speculation about their motives and the legitimacy of the claims.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau is actively investigating criminal allegations involving William Robinson aka 'Smokey Robinson.' The investigation is in the early stages, and we have no further comment.

This means only that the police are now required to investigate. We welcome that investigation, which involves Plaintiffs who continue to hide their identities, because exposure to the truth is a powerful thing.

We feel confident that a determination will be made that Mr. Robinson did nothing wrong, and that this is a desperate attempt to prejudice public opinion.

The record will ultimately demonstrate that this is nothing more than a manufactured lawsuit intended to tarnish the good names of Smokey and Frances Robinson.
