It didn't take Nelly long to pursue legal action against his accuser. Just one day after being cleared of rape charges, Nelly has chosen to sue his accuser for the false accusations. Scott Rosenblum, Nelly's lead attorney made a statement Friday regarding the situation:
The formal close of the investigation into the false allegations made against Nelly is, of course, welcome - however, expected. We were confident, that what our investigation revealed from the outset of this allegation would ultimately be clear and Nelly would be vindicated. A thorough investigation did show Nelly was a victim of deceitful allegation devoid of credibility. Credible evidence did show this accuser to be deceptive. We have been in constant communication with the King County authorities and welcomed and appreciated the diligence in which the authorities proceeded. Leaving no stone unturned.
Nelly recognizes the need for women who are victims of sexual assault of any kind to be heard and our existing systems changed […] However, this type of reckless false allegation cannot be tolerated as it is an affront to the real survivors of sexual assault, Nelly has suffered very real damage to his reputation. He has incurred economic loss and painfully has watched his family suffer. As a result, Nelly is planning to proceed with litigation as the first step in restoring his reputation.
Nelly was accused of rape back in October by the charges were ultimately dropped after the accuser failed to cooperate with a full investigation into the allegations.
