According to Abashe’s lawsuit, she began “casually dating” Allen in 2021 after meeting on social media. The incident in July 2022 allegedly occurred after Abashe was drugged and assaulted by the unnamed individuals before Allen himself raped her.

Abashe reported the assaults to the police and underwent a sexual assault forensic exam. She claims that police used evidence from her to obtain a warrant and gather footage of the assault.
