Soulja Boy<\/a> has been found liable in a civil lawsuit filed by his former personal assistant, which alleges rape, assault and kidnapping.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (April 10), a California jury ruled in favor of awarding the Jane Doe plaintiff over $4,000,000 in compensatory damages\u2014triggering the trial to advance to the stage where punitive damages will be assessed. <\/p>\n

Ron Zambrano, who served as the plantiff\u2019s lawyer and works as a partner and Employment Litigation Chair at West Coast Employment Lawyers told AllHipHop<\/em> they were \u201chappy\u201d for their client and eager to move into the next phase of the trial. Prior to the latest ruling on compensatory damages, Zambrano suggested over $73,000,000 in damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re happy our client was vindicated and the jury believed her claims of physical and sexual assault,\u201d Ron Zambrano said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to moving on to the punitive damages phase of the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another statement, Neama Rahmani, who also represented the plantiff and serves as president of West Coast Employment Lawyers suggested this case is just the beginning of Soulja Boy\u2019s legal woe\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s verdict is just the beginning of justice for Soulja Boy\u2019s victims, and other victims in the music industry,\u201d Rahmani added . \u201cWe look forward to presenting Nia Riley\u2019s case to a jury, and for trying the Lizzo cases before this same judge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original complaint against Soulja Boy, whose real name is Deandre Cortez Way, was filed in 2021 by the Jane Doe victim, who alleged the \u201cCrank That\u201d rapper engaged in a pattern of abuse after hiring her as a personal assistant in December 2018. <\/p>\n

The bulk of her lawsuit centered around claims of repeated sexual assaults and physical abuse during her employment as Soulja Boy\u2019s personal assistant between the years of 2019 and 2020. She claims she was raped multiple times, including during the 2019 police raid and again in October 2020 when she returned to collect her belongings. <\/p>\n

The plaintiff also accuses the rapper of locking her in a room for three days without food or water after she attempted to quit in 2019.<\/p>\n

However, during the trial earlier this month, Soulja Boy denied their contact was anything but consensual while testifying about a specific incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked her if she wanted to have sex, and she was engaged in it,\u201d Soulja Boy testified. \u201cShe didn\u2019t push me away or say stop, nothing like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
