The lawsuit filed Monday by Capt. Jeffrey Wenninger alleges the groping and sexually suggestive comments by John occurred in early 2014.
Orin Snyder, an attorney for John's Rocket Entertainment Group, denied the allegations.
"This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment," Snyder said in a statement. "These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff."
Wenninger was employed off-duty through a private company that he also is suing, alleging he was improperly removed from working with John in September 2014.
That lawsuit states he found out about the change after he requested to work with the singer.
Wenninger's attorney Marla A. Brown refused to address why her client would be seeking work after the alleged incidents occurred.
