Am Not Saying Am Guilty, Sean Kingston Settles $5m Lawsuit With Woman Who Claimed She Was 'Gang Raped' By The Rapper

Sean Kingston has settled up with the 22-year-old girl who accused him and his former bodyguards of gang rape back in 2010, sources close to Kingston tell TMZ.

According to TMZ, Kingston settled NOT because he's admitting guilt, but because his upcoming tour and new album release will prevent him from focusing his energies on a messy civil trial.

Capeloto, now 22, claimed she was a teenager when she was 'forced to have sex with Sean, his bodyguard and a member of Sean's band' at a Seattle hotel in July, 2010.


According to TMZ he paid her only a fraction of what she asked for in order to make the matter disappear, though the exact amount of the settlement is unknown.

This was despite the fact he believes he would have won the case outright if it went to trial, in the  way he avoided criminal charges three years ago.

A source told the website: 'Her story wasn't consistent. She told various stories throughout her interviews with police. Her friend's story wasn't consistent with hers. The medical report had no indications of force.'
Kingston acknowledged having sex with the girl when she was 19 but said the sex was consensual.
