Overview
- The family of a 16-year-old filed suit Tuesday in Cook County against Live Nation and Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre over an alleged assault during a July 22, 2025 Wiz Khalifa and Sean Paul show, seeking $150,000 in damages.
- The complaint says a friend’s mother bought the teen alcohol at the venue, and that she was led from a bathroom area into a restricted zone where the attack occurred.
- Tinley Park police say the case opened July 24, 2025 after an Ohio hospital alert, and evidence from venue video, witness accounts and a forensic interview supported the report.
- Detectives later arrested Roman Basso of Frankfort on Jan. 6 after coordinating with Arizona State University police, and officers say he confessed before being charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault.
- Live Nation said it cooperated with law enforcement and that guest safety is its top priority, while the suit cites past tragedies at Live Nation events to argue broader security failures.
