Sheck Wes Assault Case Declined by L.A. District Attorney
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has declined a case against Sheck Wes, TMZ reports and Pitchfork can confirm. The D.A.’s Office cited “insufficient evidence.” According to TMZ, the case involved an incident of alleged abuse of singer, actress, and model Justine Skye. The incident reportedly occurred last summer at the Montrose Hotel in West Hollywood. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Sheck Wes.
When contacted by Pitchfork, a representative for Justine Skye shared the following statement:
A judge in the Superior Court of California granted a restraining orderagainst Sheck Wes that is still in effect and the correlating case is still pending. However, it is unfortunate that the Los Angeles District Attorney decided to not pursue any further action at this time but that is often the case with many victims of Domestic Violence which is why incidents like this go unreported much of the time.
At no time did anyone from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office take a statement on the incident from Justine Skye or reached out to garner a statement which is unfortunate.
Justine Skye publicly accused Sheck Wes of abuse in February 2019. Following Skye’s allegations, Sheck tweeted, “I’ve chosen to remain silent until now out of respect for actual victims of abuse. But I cannot stand by while lies are repeatedly told about me. I never hit or beat any women and I did not beat up or jump anybody.”
