Guns N' Roses Frontman Axl Rose Sued Over Alleged Sexual Assault [DETAILS]

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has been named in a sexual assault and battery case filed by a former model.

One day before the expiration of the N.Y. Adult Survivors Act, former model Sheila Kennedy filed a lawsuit against Rose and accused him of sexually assaulting her in a New York City hotel in 1989. The alleged victim, now 61, previously broke her silence regarding the experience in her 2016 memoir.

Kennedy submitted the documents to the court on Wednesday, November 22, alleging that she and Rose met at a local nightclub before the incident in a New York City hotel. Per the court filing obtained by RadarOnline.com and People, the rocker allegedly targeted her using his fame and celebrity status before assaulting her.

When the rocker suggested a group s-- - which made her feel uncomfortable as she watched him have intercourse with another model - she left the bed and later heard him scream obscenities at her.

Rose allegedly grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back to the bedroom, leaving her with bloody knees. He then reportedly threw her to the floor twice and tied her hands behind her back before forcibly penetrating her anus with his private area without her consent.

"He treated her like property used solely for his sexual pleasure," the filing read. "Kennedy did not consent and felt overpowered. She felt she had no escape or exit and was compelled to acquiesce. She believed Rose would physically attack her, or worse, if she said no or attempted to push him away. She understood that the safest thing to do was to lie in bed and wait for Rose to finish assaulting her."

Kennedy described the experience as something that left her with "lifelong emotional, physical, psychological, and financial impacts." She was reportedly diagnosed with anxiety and depression afterward, as it affected her relationships afterward.

The former model seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, pain and suffering fees, disbursement of the action and other costs.

Guns N' Roses Axl Rose's Representative Denied the Claims

Following the emergence of the allegation, Rose's lawyer debunked the claims and said the incident never happened.

"Though he doesn't deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today. Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor," the representative went on.
