DeMario Jackson is being sued by two women for sexual battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress following his time in the Bachelor franchise.
According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, two Jane Does filed a complaint against Jackson, 35, in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County on Tuesday, September 20. In the legal documents, both women claim that they were forced into having nonconsensual sex with the former reality star after separately dating him.
The first Jane Doe alleges that Jackson “exposed” himself to her after their first date. After she expressed that his behavior was unacceptable, the California native apologized and they continued to see each other. Following another night out, the complaint details an alleged encounter where Jackson “forcefully sexually assaulted” her.
“I couldn’t move, so all I could think to do was to say, ‘No, no, stop!’ And he just ignored me. It was like he didn’t even hear me,” the first anonymous woman recalled. “I just kept thinking: ‘Just keep saying no. No one can ever take that away from you. If you’re going to die, you’ll know you fought the only way you could.’”
The woman subsequently reported the alleged encounter to the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center in February 2018. After seeking legal counsel, the first Jane Doe contacted Keith Davidson and found out that another woman reached out to the attorney with her own allegations against Jackson.
The second Jane Doe met Jackson in March 2019 and they stayed in touch until their first date the following year. During their first meeting at his home, Jackson allegedly attempted to have intercourse with the anonymous second plaintiff. In the court
