@cbsla: Four women have filed a lawsuit against Motown legend Smokey Robinson and his wife, alleging the music icon of sexual battery and assault, in incidents their attorney says span across nearly two decades. The complaint, which seeks $50 million in damages, was filed on Tuesday in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Smokey Robinson, whose legal name is William Robinson Jr., and his wife, Frances Robinson, are named as the defendants. “We believe that Mr. Robinson is a serial and sick rapist, and must be stopped,"John Harris, the woman's attorney, said during a meeting with the press on Tuesday. "I will not describe the details of the sexual assaults and rapes because they are too graphic and disturbing for this news conference." In addition to the claims of assault, court documents allege Robinson's wife created a hostile work environment, which included derogatory comments and emotional distress. CBS News Los Angeles has reached out to the Robinsons for a comment.

if it's true....🤔 please explain why they worked another SINGLE day after an offense. 🤔 why would you go back ? It would only happen once and the complaint would be made immediately.
