Sean Kingston has settled up with the 22-year-old girl who accused the
singer and his former bodyguards of gang rape back in 2010, sources
close to Kingston said. Sources tell us, Kingston settled NOT because he's
admitting guilt, but because his upcoming tour and new album release will
prevent him from focusing his energies on a messy civil trial. Sources close
to Kingston's team say he paid the alleged victim only a fraction of what
she asked for in order to make the lawsuit disappear as soon as possible.
They didn't tell us the exact amount of the settlement. That said, we're
told Kingston believes he would have won the case outright if it went to
trial ... the same way he dodged criminal charges three years ago. As one
source said, "Her story wasn't consistent. She told various stories
throughout her interviews with police. Her friend's story wasn't
consistent with hers. The medical report had no indications of force."As
we reported, Kingston acknowledged having s*x with the girl -- when she
was 19 -- but said the s*x was consensual. The lawsuit is expected to be
dismissed shortly.
