Actor Jamie Foxx is facing sexual assault and battery charges in a lawsuit filed with the New York State Supreme Court, alleging an incident at Catch NYC in 2015. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims Foxx used force to touch her offensively without consent, including groping her breasts and genitals, while allegedly intoxicated. Seeking an unspecified amount, the lawsuit cites physical and emotional injuries. Foxx's spokesperson denies the allegations, referring to a similar dismissed lawsuit in 2020 and expressing confidence in dismissal, with plans to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution. The plaintiff also sues the restaurant's parent company, Catch Hospitality Group, for negligent hiring and training under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows survivors of sexual abuse to sue, even if the statute of limitations has expired, and is set to expire soon. Foxx had a medical episode earlier this year amid his recovery."Jamie Foxx Faces Sexual Assault Allegations: Lawsuit Details and Legal Responses"
