The 23-year-old singer has reportedly tied up loose ends with, Carissa Capeloto, who is the 22-year-old girl that accused him and his former bodyguard of gang rape after a 2010 concert, a source told TMZ.
Kingston allegedly did not settle because he is admitting he is guilty of the act.
According to the TMZ insider, he has reached an agreement because his upcoming tour and new album release will prevent him from focusing on going to trial.
Kingston allegedly paid the girl only a fraction of her asking price in the lawsuit, which originally was $5 million.
The source stressed to the gossip site that Kingston believes he would have won the case if went to trial the same way he was let off for the criminal charge of the same incident three years ago.
“Her story wasn’t consistent,” another source said of Capeleto, who was intoxicated during the encounter.
“She told various stories throughout her interviews with police. Her friend’s story wasn’t consistent with hers. The medical report had no indications of force.”
Kingston did acknowledge having sexual relations with the girl but said it was consensual.
The lawsuit is anticipated to be dismissed quickly.
