Thornton Faces Lawsuit Over Lauper Son's Alleged Assault

0:00On March 25th, David Thornton, the actor married to singer Cindy Lopper, now faces a civil lawsuit in New York City. The suit links him to a sexual assault allegedly committed by their son, Declan Lopper, back in November 2020. This comes from the same anonymous Jane Doe, who sued Declan over the incident on November 9th at a Soho apartment. Her earlier case was set for mediation, but Declan filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy right before it happened. The new filing points to Declan's past to argue Thornton knew about his behavior. That includes accusations from Declan's ex-girlfriend of domestic violence in 2018, plus his guilty pleas for stealing a car in 20. 22 and recent gun and drug charges tied to a shooting. Neither Thornton's team nor Jane Doe's lawyer has commented on the suit so far. With Declan now on probation and in treatment, this suit keeps the focus on family accountability in these ongoing allegations. Music news today, powered by AI bringing you what's trending in sound.
