A civil lawsuit against Nashville Realtor & Church Deacon, Michael Rosinbum, was filed in circuit court Wednesday afternoon. The suit alleges that Rosinbum groomed & sexually assaulted a minor ‘Jane Doe’ over a number of years. A Nashville Grand Jury was presented with this case, and declined to indict him on 2 counts of rape and 2 counts of sexual battery, in December 2017. The victim has now filed a civil suit against him.

Rosinbum is listed as real estate agent with Keller Williams in Franklin, and is a USAF Vietnam veteran. He has a bachelor of Zoology from WSU, and according to his bio is a church deacon, and married with 2 children.

The lawsuit first defines that “Grooming” refers to the process by which a child sexual abuser draws a victim into a sexual relationship and maintains that relationship in secrecy. The lawsuit is filed by a 20 year old female, referred to as a ‘Jane Doe’, as it an option when filing this type of suit, with approval of the court, which was granted by a judge’s order.

The lawsuit seeks not less than $25,000 for battery that is described, not less than $25,000 for assault that is described , not less than $25,000 for intentional emotional distress, and not less than $25,000 for neglect infliction of emotional distress. The suit also seeks punitive damages, to be decided by a jury.

Here’s what the lawsuit claims happened:

The civil suit states that Jane Doe & Michael Rosinbum have known each other since on or before 2000, and claims that Michael Rosinbum has “groomed” Jane Doe since at least the year 2000. Jane Doe turned 18 in August of 2015. It goes on to say that from around 2000 until August of 2015, Rosinbum “groomed” Jane Doe by sizing up her venerability, emotional neediness, isolation, and confidence.

Jane Doe also says that during that time, Rosinbum groomed her by gaining her trust by watching and gathering information about her, mixing effortlessly with her caretakers to generate warm and calibrated attention. He developed a special relationship with Jane Doe to create situations in which they were alone together, further reinforcing the personal connection. During that time, he is said to have progressively sexualized their relationship. The relationship was kept secret by his insistence, in order to maintain control, according to Jane Doe.

The lawsuit claims the following happened on May 16, 2017:
