Garth Brooks’ request to dismiss his sexual assault charges has been denied Fox News.
The country star, 62, filed the motion last month, which was “denied with prejudice,” the outlet revealed.
In October, a former makeup artist who worked for his wife Trisha Yearwood accused him of sexual assault and battery in court documents filed in a California court.
The accuser, who filed anonymously under the name “Jane Roe,” claims the country icon took her to Los Angeles in May 2019 for a Grammy event honoring R&B singer Sam Moore.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff claims that the Friends in Low Places singer only booked one hotel suite for the two of them there, and when she requested separate accommodations, he would not provide it.
Hours later, the artist denied the rape allegations against him, calling it a “hush money” shakedown.

She also accused him of then accosting her naked in the doorway, dragging her into another room, dangling her upside down by her ankles and raping her, in court documents obtained by Ny Breaking.com.
Before the makeup artist filed her lawsuit, Brooks was aware of her allegations and filed to fight back anonymously, using the name “John Doe,” as reported by CNN.
“Jane Roe” was originally hired to do hair and makeup for Yearwood in 1999, and Brooks eventually brought her in to do it for him in 2017, she claims.
In her new lawsuit, the makeup artist claims that Brooks would send her sexually explicit text messages, tell her about his sexual fantasies and discuss sex with her.
She also accuses him of exposing his buttocks and genitals to her more than once and of repeatedly changing clothes in her presence.
