The woman involved is simply referred to as Jane Doe in the case, and the allegeations stem from a January 2020 incident, a complaint about which was made in MAy of that year.

Roiland pleaded not guilty to the charges in October 2020, and will attend a hearing in April. The case was sealed until January 12, and there is no trial date as yet.
