		</div><p>Rapper Nelly is asking a US court to dismiss a British woman’s lawsuit that alleges he sexually assaulted her after a concert in England.</p>
<p>The federal lawsuit was filed in November in St Louis, the rapper’s hometown. The woman accuses Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr, of assaulting her in a dressing room at The Cliffs Pavillion in Essex in December 2017. Nelly has not been criminally charged and has denied the allegations.</p>
<p>The woman is identified only as Jane Doe in the lawsuit.</p>
<p>Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, filed a response to the lawsuit on Thursday, arguing that the woman should not be allowed to remain anonymous and “avoid public scrutiny”.</p>
<p>The woman alleges that she paid to have her photo taken with the 44-year-old rapper after the concert before he took her to a separate room and sexually assaulted her.</p>
<p>The woman’s lawyer, Karen Koehler, said the woman reported the incident to police more than a year ago and she believes the investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p>Mr Rosenblum argued that a “cloak of anonymity” for the accuser invites people with personal vendettas “to use the federal court system as a tool to inflict calculated harm against others’ reputations” while protecting themselves from scrutiny “that false accusations properly risk and invite”.</p>
<p>The lawsuit is the second such case filed against the rapper. In September, Nelly settled a lawsuit filed by a woman who alleged he raped her on his tour bus in suburban Seattle.</p>
<p>Police in Washington arrested Nelly in October 2017, but prosecutors did not file charges, citing a lack of co-operation by the accuser. Mr Rosenblum said those accusations were fabricated.</p>
