R&B singer Joss Stone was raped in her teens

Washington: British singer Joss Stone has slammed former boyfriend Beau Dozier – branding him a ‘psycho’ for raping her while she was in her teens.

The 20-year-old star accused the son of Motown composer Lamont Dozier of statutory rape while they were dating because he was 24 years of age and she was just 16 years old.

"He was totally being illegal. Of course he was. He knew he was. I was 16, he was 24; that's weird,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

“At the time I didn't think it was weird. I thought he was lovely and mature, but he was weird.

"He's not really a very stable person and I was kind of afraid to be with him. He was scary; he scared the sh*t out of me,” she added.
