A jury cleared Metro Boomin of sexual assault charges after more than a year of legal proceedings. Vanessa LeMaistre had accused the Grammy-winning producer, born Leland Wayne, of four separate attacks. The verdict delivered Thursday ended a costly battle that Wayne said damaged his career and personal life. Wayne posted on Twitter that the false allegations hurt his reputation and caused financial losses.
He said professional opportunities disappeared while he fought the case. The producer expressed concern for his adopted younger siblings, who faced public scrutiny during the trial. Wayne criticized LeMaistre and her legal team for pursuing claims without merit. He thanked his attorneys and showed support for genuine assault victims.
