A sexual assault civil suit brought against Trey Songz has been dismissed after legal documents proved the statute of limitations had expired on the allegations, reports TMZ.
A woman who identified as Jane Doe in court documents had claimed Songz, 38. forced her to have anal sex against her consent at a house party in Los Angeles on March 26, 2016.
The woman said that Songz behaved like a 'savage rapist' during a sexual encounter where she screamed and pleaded with him to stop what he was doing - but that Songz overpowered her physically. He has vehemently denied the accusations.

The publication reports that Songz's suit was thrown out on Monday after attorneys for the star successfully argued the statute of limitations had expired well before the alleged victim reported the complaint.
In California the statute of limitations is two years, with the alleged victim filing six years after the alleged rape. She was suing Songz for $20million in damages.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Trey Songz for comment.
Songz's rep told TMZ when the claims emerged earlier this year that 'the allegations in this complaint are false,' and Slow Motion singer 'looks forward to having the facts fully aired.'
