A woman claims late singer Rick James raped her in 1979 when she was 15.
The woman filed a lawsuit under the Child Victims Act against his estate.
The suit claims James, who died in 2004, was visiting a group home on Richmond Avenue in Buffalo at the time. The woman says she was laying on her bed reading a book when James came into the room.
James allegedly grabbed her hair and pushed her head into a pillow. The woman says she tried to fight him off but James allegedly said, "shut up and quit moving or I'll cut you." James then allegedly raped her.
The woman says she continues to suffer from physical, psychological and emotional injuries. She is seeking $50 million from his estate.
