Actor Jamie Foxx is currently being sued for a 2015 sexual assault incident in New York City.
TMZ first reported the news this afternoon after obtaining the lawsuit, which describes the incident occurring at rooftop lounge and bar Catch NYC & Roof in August 2015.
The incident occurred after Doe took photos with the actor after spotting him at the restaurant.
The lawsuit was filed earlier today by an anonymous Jane Doe under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which will expire Friday after being in effect for one year and seeing 2,500 sexual abuse suits.
Doe reported that a security guard of Foxx’s, along with several bystanders, saw the assault but chose to ignore it.
