Tautiana Bellamy has filed a civil lawsuit accusing longtime Las Vegas attorney Gary Guymon of using his position as her lawyer to coerce and traffic her for sex, all while parading as her so-called “gorilla pimp.” The complaint, lodged Tuesday in Clark County District Court, also names his wife, Marjorie Guymon, and their firm, Goldsmith & Guymon P.C., and follows a criminal case against Guymon that already grabbed headlines across the valley last year.
What Bellamy Says Happened
According to the Clark County complaint, first detailed by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bellamy hired Guymon around July 2024. About a month later, the lawsuit says, the professional relationship shifted into a sexual one that quickly turned toxic.
The filing alleges Guymon demanded explicit videos from Bellamy and, in an Oct. 12, 2024 message, threatened her with violence while describing himself as her “gorilla pimp.” Bellamy says he pressured her into having sex for him and his associates. The complaint also claims Guymon provided money for a 2021 Range Rover and arranged an apartment lease for Bellamy as part of what she describes as a broader effort to control and exploit her.
Criminal Case And Earlier Allegations
Guymon was arrested in February 2025 after police began probing his conduct in late 2024. Investigators accused him of weaponizing his role as an attorney to target clients and running a prostitution ring they dubbed the “$100 club,” according to FOX5 Las Vegas.
The arrest report cited text messages and wiretapped calls in which Guymon allegedly discussed violence and arranged paid sexual encounters. Those details fed into a slate of charges that included sex trafficking, pandering and solicitation to commit murder. Bellamy’s new civil complaint points to that criminal case as part of the backdrop for her allegations.
Plea, Discipline And Sentence
In May 2025, Guymon entered a no-contest plea to felony counts of coercion and bribing or intimidating a witness and agreed to surrender his law license as part of the deal, his attorney said. A judge later ordered probation and court-ordered mental health treatment instead of prison time, according to KTNV.
Court Record Ties Plaintiff To The Firm
Court records show Bellamy previously had representation from Guymon’s firm in family court. In the Nevada Supreme Court matter In re A.T., a June 12, 2025 filing lists Gary Guymon, P.C., as counsel for Bellamy. That prior attorney-client relationship sits at the center of Bellamy’s claim that Guymon abused a position of trust and legal authority. Nevada Supreme Court
Claims Against The Wife And The Firm
The lawsuit does not stop with Guymon himself. It also targets his wife, attorney Marjorie Guymon, and their firm, Goldsmith & Guymon P.C. Bellamy alleges she told Marjorie in November 2024 about the abusive relationship and shared text messages documenting it, but says the firm failed to act.
According to the complaint, that alleged inaction amounts to the firm turning a blind eye to trafficking and abuse. Bellamy argues that failure to report or intervene makes both Marjorie and the firm liable for damages. Las Vegas Review-Journal
What A Civil Suit Can Set In Motion
Now that the complaint is filed, the next step is formal service on the defendants, who will have a chance to respond. After that, the case heads into discovery, the fact-finding phase where both sides can seek documents, messages and financial records, and question witnesses under oath.
Legal resources note that discovery often dictates whether a case settles or heads to trial and can surface the kind of records Bellamy says back up her allegations. If a court ultimately finds her claims credible, the Guymons and their firm could face compensatory damages and potentially punitive damages as well. FindLaw
For now, Bellamy’s lawsuit sits in Clark County District Court, asking a judge to hold the former lawyer, his wife and their firm accountable. How quickly the defendants answer and how deeply the case digs into discovery will determine whether this is a short legal skirmish or a drawn-out courtroom fight.
