Fat Joe accused of sex with underage girls by former hypeman in shock suit
Fat Joe has denied allegations made in shocking new lawsuit that implicates the rap veteran of engaging in 'sexual relations with children who were 15 and 16 years old.' Fat Joe's one-time Terrence 'T.A.' Dixon, said in court docs obtained by Daily Mail that the 53-year-old musical artist was involved in a number of sordid arrangements with underage girls. Dixon said in legal docs that he 'personally witnessed' the Grammy-nominated rapper, 54, 'engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.' One of the teens the New York City native was allegedly involved with inappropriately, according to Dixon, was a Dominican female, who he was engaged with in 'oral sex and other sexual acts.' The entertainer, whose full name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, allegedly carried on the relationship with the teen girl 'in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill.' Daily Mail has reached out to Fat Joe, his reps and his lawyer Joe Tacopina for comment on the story. Fat Joe's one-time hypeman Terrence 'T.A.' Dixon, said in court docs obtained by Daily Mail that the 53-year-old musical artist was involved in a number of sordid arrangements with underage girls The What's Luv? vocalist allegedly was also involved with a 15-year-old 'Caucasian girl, not from the US' in the wake of a 'concert overseas.' According to the complaint, The All the Way Up performer had the girl flown to Miami and New York City multiple time, Dixon told the court. Dixon alleged that the Get It Poppin' artist foot the bill for the underage girl to have a Brazilian Butt Lift operation performed, Dixon said in legal docs. Dixon told the court that the underage female referred to in the court docs 'eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete.' Fat Joe allegedly fell 'in love with' a third female - a Latina female who he met when she was 15, Dixon also claimed in legal docs. Dixon said Fat Joe 'was in love with' the female, and paid her bills and took her on the road. 'He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife,' said Dixon, who told the court he had been working with the rap artist for a stretch from 2006 thru 2019. Dixon said Fat Joe engaged in 'coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion' as his boss. He added that he was 'consistently underpaid, denied songwriting credits and deliberately concealed from royalties and backend compensation.' Dixon said he's a 'lyricist, background vocalist, security team member, and creative collaborator.' Dixon also named in the suit Roc Nation, Sneaker Addict Touring LLC, Slate, Inc. LLC, Pete 'Pistol Pete' Torres, Richard 'Rich Player' Jospitre, Erica Juliana Moreira. Joe Tacopina, the lawyer who is representing Fat Joe, denied all of the allegations made against the rapper to Page Six. Tacopina said he's been in touch with the people Dixon alleged were Fat Joe's underage lovers in the suit, and 'they've made it clear that some of them don't even know Fat Joe.' Fat Joe previously entered into litigation last month against his former associate Dixon over allegations he had engaged in underage sex. Fat Joe said that Dixon's efforts amounted to a 'money grab' and that Dixon 'enjoyed the perquisites of touring, luxurious travel, and other fringe benefits of a world-renowned musician's team.' Fat Joe said that in the six years since they had concluded working with another, Dixon had 'never raised any issues or sought any additional compensation.'

Royal Navy commander removed from role less than three months into post
A Royal Navy commander has been removed from his role less than three months into post while he is investigated over sexual allegations. Lt Cdr Martyn Mayger took charge of HMS Tyne, a warship that operates in UK and European waters on security tasks, in February. It is understood he has been removed from command in the past week with the executive officer of the ship taking his place temporarily. The Times reported the allegations are of 'unacceptable sexual behaviour with a subordinate'. Mayger is being investigated by the Defence Serious Crime Command after a complaint was raised. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday: 'We can confirm that a member of the armed forces is under investigation by the Defence Serious Crime Command in respect of these allegations. 'As the matter is subject to an ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further. 'We have a zero-tolerance approach to criminal and inappropriate behaviour. Our people can be assured that should they raise any allegation, they will be fully supported, and the matter investigated, with appropriate action taken as required.' Last week the head of the Royal Navy was suspended pending an investigation. The MoD said last week that an investigation into the first sea lord, Adm Sir Benjamin Key, 59, was 'ongoing'. He had reportedly been expected to retire this summer but it is understood he has been told to step back from his role while the investigation takes place. Key was absent from the lineup of senior military personnel on the Mall for celebrations to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, and it is understood that the second sea lord, V Adm Martin Connell, has taken full charge until a permanent replacement is announced. The first sea lord, who has served more than four decades in the navy, is understood to be the first head of the navy to face a misconduct investigation in its 500-year history.
