Two women have filed civil lawsuits against boxer Jermain Taylor, alleging that the world middleweight champion assaulted them during a comedian’s performance in Little Rock.
The lawsuits, filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court, accuse Taylor of “causing emotional distress and mental suffering” to two women during a Sept. 3 performance by comedian Katt Williams at Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock. The plaintiffs, Jeanine Morse and Yvette McCarty, each ask for a judgment of at least $75,000, as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees.
The complaint accuses Taylor of grabbing Morse’s breasts during the performance and forcefully kissing McCarty, who was an usher during the performance.
Taylor denies the claim.
