Garth Brooks files request to transfer sexual assault case to federal court
Garth Brooks is trying to get his case moved to federal court after a former employee filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting her.
The legal expert suggested that federal judges might be more willing to throw out the case, and he also noted that they might be more likely to seal the filings, which could prevent any embarrassing details about the singer's alleged interactions with his accuser from being seen by the public. Strikingly, Roe believed Yearwood 'overheard [his suggestion of a threesome] on at least one occasion,' and she said his wife was present for one particularly lewd conversation in which Brooks spoke of inventing a shampoo bottle that would double as a dildo. Brooks broke his silence on Thursday night, hours after issuing a strenuous legal denial of the allegations of rape and battery claims leveled by the make-up artist whom he has known for more than 20 years.
