Update: Jane Roe’s attorneys filed a motion for emergency sealing or redactions and for sanctions on Wednesday in response to Tuesday’s legal complaint filed by Garth Brooks, who is referred to as John Doe in the filings. Roe’s legal team specifically referenced the “intentional and unlawful disclosure of a rape victim’s identity, without her consent” as the reason for their motion.
The motion also states that Brooks “commenced this action improperly, for the purpose of thwarting Ms. Roe’s efforts to assert causes of action against him in California under California law for sexual violence, including inter alia sexual assault and rape.”
