Smokey Robinson is facing a criminal investigation following accusations of sexual assault made in a $50 million lawsuit by four former housekeepers. His attorney criticized the investigation as a scheme to prejudice public opinion, labeling the lawsuit a fabrication to tarnish Robinson's and his wife Frances' reputations. The plaintiffs' attorneys, meanwhile, welcomed the criminal investigation and expressed their clients' commitment to seeking justice. The lawsuit alleges a pattern of sexual abuse and misconduct by Robinson over nearly two decades, with the women citing fear of repercussions and intimidation as reasons for not coming forward earlier. The case includes disturbing claims of assault using physical force and threats to prevent the victims from leaving during the alleged incidents. (People)
