The woman who accused Cee Lo Green of sexual assault says the singer gave her ecstasy before having sex with her, TMZ reports.
The accuser says Green took her a downtown L.A. restaurant in July. The two had a drink, but she remembers nothing after that. She claims when she woke up she was lying naked in bed with Green in the room.
The woman reportedly went to her local law enforcement agency immediately to report the incident, and it was referred to the LAPD.
Sources told TMZ that LAPD detectives had the woman call Green and bait him into acknowledging the sexual assault. In the recorded phone call, Green apologizes to the woman and references ecstasy but does not specifically say that he put it in her drink.
Green’s people say he would already be under arrest if the conversation was recorded.
His people also say that his accuser went to a civil lawyer before contacting the police and that she demanded he give her money to make the situation disappear. Other sources say the woman’s lawyer called Green to ask if he had any diseases but did not ask for money.
Green has denied all wrongdoing and insists that he is innocent. There are several conflicting reports about what happened that night and in the following days, but the LAPD will turn the matter over to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office when their investigation is completed.
Why the woman waited so long to go public with her accusations is unclear.
