Garth Brooks is escalating his legal battle against Jane Roe, who has accused him of sexual assault and battery, by seeking to move the case to federal court. The country star, 62, recently submitted filings indicating that the damages requested by Roe exceed $75,000, aligning with federal court requirements. Legal expert Tre Lovell highlighted potential benefits of this move, including faster trial dates and a larger jury pool. This decision follows Brooks' earlier re-filing of his complaint against Roe, a former hairstylist and makeup artist for Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood. The controversy intensified when Brooks alleged that Roe’s legal team had irresponsibly revealed his identity to the media.
