Jay-Z Accuser Drops Lawsuit, Rapper Celebrates Legal 'Victory'
The lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 has been dropped by the Jane Doe's lawyer and officially dismissed
According to docs obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, February 14, the lawsuit was “dismissed with prejudice.” The filing alleged that the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, raped a 13-year-old girl along with Sean “Diddy” Combs at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in September 2000. On January 2, JudgeAnalisa Torres of the Southern District of New York granted a request from Jay-Z’s lawyer to file to dismiss the case on procedural grounds. John Nacion/Getty ImagesSpiro’s request came in a December 30 letter to Torres, which argued that Jay-Z could not be prosecuted under New York City’s Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act because it didn’t come into effect until after the alleged rape.
