The latest news surrounding Cyndi Lauper's son, Declyn, has caused quite a stir in the media. The 26-year-old, also known as Dex, has found himself in legal trouble once again, and this time it's a serious accusation of sexual assault.
According to a civil lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman, Declyn allegedly sexually assaulted her four years ago. The lawsuit, which was obtained by The Mirror, states that Declyn knowingly and intentionally engaged in sexual abuse and assault, violating New York City's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law.
This is not the first time Declyn has faced legal issues. Earlier this year, he was arrested in connection with a shooting in New York, and in 2022, he was taken into police custody for being found in a stolen car. But these previous incidents pale in comparison to the current accusation he is facing.
The plaintiff claims that after going to Declyn's apartment, he took her phone, held her down, and attempted to force her into a sexual act. She repeatedly asked him to stop, but he refused, allegedly smothering his genitals over her mouth and even placing her teeth there. After the physical assault, Declyn reportedly verbally abused her with slurs.
This incident has caused immense emotional and psychological damage to the plaintiff, and she is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. In an interview with the New York Post, she expressed her fear and distress, stating that she felt her life was in danger after the assault.
It is worth noting that Declyn is Cyndi Lauper's only child, whom she shares with her husband, David Thornton. Despite his attempts to apologize and contact the plaintiff afterwards, she never saw him again.
If you or someone you know needs help with domestic violence or abuse, you can reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 0808 2000 247. There are also specific hotlines for the LGBT community and male victims.
The plaintiff, a 28-year-old insurance broker, had been dating Declyn for nine months at the time of the assault. This news is undoubtedly devastating for Cyndi Lauper, who has been an iconic pop singer since the 80s. She had Declyn with her husband in 1997.
In addition to this lawsuit, Declyn is also facing legal action from his landlord over a rent-stabilized apartment in New York. The landlord claims that Declyn has breached the lease multiple times, including aggressive behavior and unpaid rent. They are seeking his eviction along with other residents.
If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can reach out to The Agency entertainment team by emailing them or calling their hotline. They would love to hear from you.
It is disheartening to see someone who comes from a prominent family and has been given many opportunities in life, find themselves in such serious legal trouble. We hope that justice will be served and that Declyn will learn from his mistakes and make positive changes in the future.
