Ray J has pleaded not guilty to groping a woman at a Beverly Hills hotel bar and resisting arrest afterward.
Los Angeles County prosecutors said 33-year-old Ray J
— whose legal name is William Ray Norwood — entered the plea on Tuesday to misdemeanor charges of sexual battery, vandalism, battery on a police officer and resisting a peace officer.
He's scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on August 28.
Raj J was arrested on May 30 after a woman said he groped her at a bar at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Police say he refused to leave the bar when they arrived, became unruly and used his feet to shatter a patrol car window after being taken into custody.
The singer earlier this month sparked an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department after two officers let him go with a warning after he appeared to be texting while driving.
The officers took a series of pictures with Ray J after pulling him over in his Bentley after noticing him holding his cell phone, according to a report in TMZ.
Ray J told the officers he was having problems connecting his bluetooth headset and was given a warning instead of a ticket.
The LAPD launched an internal affairs investigation over the incident on suspicion of impropriety.
Ray J is the brother of singer-actress Brandy Norwood.
He is infamous for starring in the sex tape that propelled Kim Kardashian to stardom.
Ray J has hosted the past two seasons of the Oxygen reality show Bad Girls All-Star Battle.
