Garth Brooks faces backlash for revealing name of sexual assault accuser in court filing

hollywoodreporter.com

Garth Brooks' legal team has been criticized for revealing the real name of a woman who accused him of sexual assault. The woman, referred to as "Jane Roe," alleged that Brooks raped her in 2019 and subjected her to inappropriate behavior. Brooks denied the allegations, claiming he faced threats and extortion related to the case. He had previously filed a lawsuit to block the accuser from suing him while negotiations were ongoing. The accuser's lawyers plan to seek sanctions against Brooks for disclosing her name, stating there was no legal reason for this action. They aim to have the court filing reverted to using "Jane Roe."
