Tommy Lee Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Helicopter Sexual Assault

Tommy Lee, the drummer of Mötley Crüe, has been sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a helicopter in 2003. The plaintiff claims that Lee forcibly groped, kissed, and penetrated her with his fingers, and attempted to force her to perform oral copulation. The incident allegedly took place during a helicopter ride from San Diego to Van Nuys, California, where the woman was pressured to sit on Lee's lap. The lawsuit also alleges that the pilot, David Martz, who has since died, watched the assault without intervening. The woman is seeking unspecified monetary damages for medical expenses and loss of earnings.
