Terry Crews' sexual assault case against his former agent Adam Venit has been rejected by prosecutors, who say the alleged incident falls outside of the statute of limitations.
Crews previously claimed that Venit groped him at a party in February 2016. According to TMZ, The DA's office ruled the alleged assault a misdemeanor. The statute of limitations for a misdemeanor assault is a year, which expired last month.
Crews has also filed a civil case against Venit, accusing the agent of sexual assault. This specific lawsuit contains details of the assault, claiming that Venit groped Crews' genitals, "squeezing so hard that he lept back in pain." It goes on to say that Venit stuck "his tongue in and out of his mouth provocatively." It also states that Crews told Adam Sandler, who is also one of Venit's clients that was attending the party. "Adam, come get your boy!" Crews allegedly yelled. "He's grabbing my nuts!"
Venit, who was briefly suspended from William-Morris Endeavors, filed a formal denial in court.
Recently, Crews revealed that he's still paying WME even after firing the agency. “This is the deal. What’s so strange and crazy is that I’m still paying them. I go to work, and I still have to send a check to my molester,” he said of WME. “This is Hollywood, it is insane. I look at my bank statement, and I’m like, ‘Damn, this is the most wrong thing of all time.’ I’m calling it, I’m going to play this whole thing out,” the actor added. “If I don’t get justice, nobody can.”
