Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a helicopter ride from San Diego to Los Angeles in 2003, according to a new lawsuit.
The civil lawsuit, which was filed Friday and obtained by Rolling Stone, accuses Lee and his former private pilot, David Martz, of luring the woman onto the helicopter to be sexually assaulted.
The woman, who is only identified as Jane Doe, said Lee forcibly groped, kissed and penetrated her with his fingers. She claimed Lee, 61, also attempted “to force her to perform oral copulation.”
Jane Doe is suing Lee, as well as Mayhem Touring, A Natural High Helicopters and Social Helicopters, who are all named as defendants.
She is seeking unspecified damages for “sexual assault, gender violence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.”
Martz, who died in a 2015 plane crash, is not a defendant in the lawsuit.
Lee has not commented publicly on the allegations against him. Mayhem Touring, A Natural High Helicopters and Social Helicopters have also remained silent.
