Jay-Z’s Request to File for Dismissal of Rape Claim Granted by Judge
Judge Analisa Torres granted Jay-Z’s lawyer’s request to file a motion to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him of the rape of a 13-year-old girl in 2000
On Thursday, January 2, Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District of New York granted a request from the rap mogul’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, to file a motion to dismiss the case on procedural grounds, per court documents shared via X by legal affairs journalist Meghann M. Cuniff. In her lawsuit, the woman — identified only as “Jane Doe” — claimed she was raped by Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in September 2000 when she was just 13. But the GMV Law was not enacted until December 19, 2000, three months after the FAC claims the conduct occurred, and cannot apply retroactively to create a cause of action unavailable to Plaintiff at the time in question.”
