Sexual assault cases
In May 2018, two women named Kristina Buch and Peyton Ackley filed legal documents against Detail. Their allegations against him include multiple instances of mental and physical abuse and rape. The two women have since been granted restraining orders against him.{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/05/13/noel-detail-fisher-rape-sexual-assault/|title=Grammy-Winning Producer Noel 'Detail' Fisher Accused Of Rape & Sexual Assault|last=Silva|first=Marsha|date=May 13, 2018|website=Digital Music News|language=en-US|access-date=January 27, 2020}} The singer Jessie Reyez also revealed that her song "Gatekeeper" is about him.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8455464/jessie-reyez-detail-sexual-misconduct-gatekeeper|title=Jessie Reyez Accuses 'Drunk In Love' Producer Detail of Sexual Misconduct, Reveals He Inspired 'Gatekeeper'|last=Nerisha|first=Penrose|date=May 10, 2018|magazine=Billboard|access-date=January 27, 2020}}
Several other women have since joined Buch, Ackley, and Reyez in coming forward with similar allegations, including Bebe Rexha and Tinashe.{{cite web |url=https://allhiphop.com/news/bebe-rexha-tinashe-come-forth-with-accounts-of-sex-assaults-by-producer-detail-uaO50G7ee0ymLpbAzTM4cA/ |title=Bebe Rexha, Tinashe Come Forth With Accounts Of Sex Assaults By Producer Detail |website=Allhiphop.com |date=May 13, 2018 |access-date=March 20, 2020 |archive-date=August 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810073855/https://allhiphop.com/news/bebe-rexha-tinashe-come-forth-with-accounts-of-sex-assaults-by-producer-detail-uaO50G7ee0ymLpbAzTM4cA |url-status=dead }}
He was arrested on August 5, 2020, by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and charged with raping five women and sexually assaulting another.{{cite web |title=Grammy-winning producer Detail charged with rape |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53691576 |website=BBC News |access-date=August 7, 2020 |date=August 7, 2020}}
Currently, he is being held on bail of $6.3 million. Detail was arrested for incidents that took place between 2010 and 2018. Earlier, in 2011 he was accused of sexual assault and accused of holding a woman against her will and sexually assaulting her following a pre-Grammy party at his home in Canyon Country, California.
According to the source, the woman was a catering assistant and was hired to provide food for the party. TMZ reported that she said that after rebuffing Fisher's advances, he ripped off her clothes, locked her into a room and then raped her. She also stated that after she was able to escape Fisher, she told police and submitted to a rape kit.
Later, in 2018 another woman named Kristina Buch filed a lawsuit against Fisher alleging sexual assault. Buch, a model and aspiring singer, alleged that he raped her in Miami during a recording session and forced her to have sex in front of others. Furthermore, Peyton Ackley accused the music producer of forcing her to have sex with him in front of someone else and forcing her to record him having sex with Kristina. According to the Associated Press, Buch won her $15 million lawsuits in a default judgment because Fisher and his attorney did not respond to court summons or file any documents.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/legal-and-management/8531494/detail-loses-rape-lawsuit|title = Aspiring Singer Wins $15M Rape Lawsuit Against Grammy-Winning Producer Detail|magazine = Billboard}}
As of January 2025, Fisher remains in custody and stands charged with 26 counts of sexual assault related to claims from 11 different women. He has pleaded not guilty to 13 counts of rape, four counts of sodomy, four counts of oral copulation by force, three counts of assault, and one count each of rape and battery.{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Perry |date=2025-01-22 |title='Detail’ seeks more evidence, dismissal of charges |url=https://signalscv.com/2025/01/detail-seeks-more-evidence-dismissal-of-charges/ |access-date=2025-04-28 |website=Santa Clarita Valley Signal |language=en-US}}
