Nelly's attorney, Scott Rosenblum has stated that the "Country Grammar" star is "the victim of a completely fabricated allegation.” The lawyer continued saying, “Our initial investigation, clearly establishes, this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”
The Auburn Police Department said it is continuing to investigate the incident.
