Survivor

Atlanta-based attorney Nicole Westmoreland is a survivor of sexual assault. In 2001, she survived a sexual assault at an Atlanta recording studio when she was 19 years old. She worked for a company that helped people reinstate suspended driver’s licenses. According to Nicole via TMZ, Bryan Williams, vice president of Cash Money Records, and a man named “Stone” met her and asked her to make a sales pitch to the company at Patchwerk Recording Studio in Atlanta.

One night, Nicole and three female friends went to the recording studio, where a large gathering was taking place. A man named Alfred Cleveland was there. He was a friend of Ronald Williams, then president of CMR and Bryan’s brother. During the evening, Nicole went to use the restroom and Cleveland offered to show her where it was. Nicole said Cleveland got her to the bathroom, forced her inside and raped her.

She said another man came to the door, during which Cleveland allegedly told him to keep guard and then allegedly tried to pass her off to him — but, Nicole says she begged him not to, and he let her go. Nicole later said she was threatened about going to the police … but, she did anyway — and, Cleveland was arrested and charged with rape. He ultimately pled guilty to aggravated assault with intent to rape.
