Big Sean Arrested & Charged With Sexual Assault, Lawyer Denies it


Rapper Big Sean faces charges in upstate New York after a woman complained she was sexually assaulted during a concert.

State park police charged the 23-year-old Detroit rapper with misdemeanor counts of forcible touching, unlawful imprisonment and sex abuse. Another Detroit man, Willie Hansbro, faces the same charges.


Police received the complaint Thursday night at Artpark State Park in Lewiston, just downriver from Niagara Falls.Anderson was performing there with rapper Wiz Khalifa.


Authorities won’t detail what happened.

Big Sean and Hansbro were issued appearance tickets and released on $500 bail. They’re scheduled in Niagara County Court on Sept. 6.
UPDATE: Big Sean’s lawyer, Scott E. Leemon has released a statement denying the allegations.
“Last night, recording artists, Sean “Big Sean” Anderson and Willie “Sayitainttone” Hansbro were arrested and then immediately released by the NY State Police in connection with an allegation made by a female who was at their concert in Lewiston, New York. Both men were charged with misdemeanors and they both vehemently deny the allegations. I am confident, that after further investigation, both men will be vindicated.”
