GUNS N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has been accused of a historical sex assault by a former Penthouse model.
Ex-Penthouse Pet of the Year Sheila Kennedy, 61, claims the singer, also 61, raped her in 1989.
Kennedy claims in a lawsuit that Rose invited her, another model and future MTV host Riki Rachtman to his New York hotel room
There Rose allegedly plied the women with cocaine and champagne before having “aggressive” sex with the other model.
The lawsuit says Rose then appeared to encourage group sex, so Kennedy and Rachtman left.
Rose is then said to have dragged Kennedy by her hair back to his room, tied her hands behind her back and raped her without protection.

It alleges: “Kennedy lay there on the bed with her hands tied behind her back, bleeding, vulnerable, and alone with Rose while he was in a sexual, volatile rage.
“Kennedy had just witnessed Rose violently have sex with another woman. He dragged Kennedy to his bedroom like a caveman and acted with uncontrolled fury.
“Rose had physically stopped her from leaving. Kennedy was trapped.
“Rose then sexually assaulted Kennedy.

“He treated her like property used solely for his sexual pleasure.”
The suit was brought under a New York law allowing a one-year window for alleged historic sex abuse victims to file cases for which the statute of limitations has already passed.
Rose’s lawyer Alan S. Gutman last night said the star denied all of the allegations.
A statement read: “Simply put, this incident never happened.
“Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires.
“Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today.”
The Sun asked Rose’s representative for comment.
