Rick Ross sued for rape, he says he didn't touch her

Newly engaged Rick Ross is being sued by a woman simply identified as Jane Doe who claims she was raped during Grammy weekend after being drugged in Rick Ross' van.

Jane Doe in the lawsuit claims she was at the W Hotel in L.A. where she met up with Rick and his entourage, who had invited her to go to Cannabis Cup which is a weed convention.

She says she got in the van with Rick, a guy named Thaddeus "Black" James, a DJ, 3 security guards and the driver and was offered some alcohol and shortly thereafter became dizzy and eventually passed out.

She says the next thing she knew, 2 hours had passed and she was in the van with Black, she went back to Black's hotel room and passed out again. She says she woke up at 8am, examined herself and realized she was naked and had been sexually assaulted.

Even though she says she believes Black is the one who raped her, she's suing not just Black but also Rick Ross because she says Black was Ross' agent and he should have been supervising him, and it was Ross' van.

According to an exclusive interview with TMZ, Ross said:

"It has been brought to my attention that serious allegations have been made against an independent contractor, who's services I use often. And while I am not directly involved or implicated, as a man and a father, I take this very seriously. I don't believe any woman's safety should be compromised and she should never be forced to do anything outside of her will, regardless of the circumstances."

58"While I personally have no knowledge of the specifics surrounding these allegations, it is my hope that this is rectified quickly and with sensitivity."
