A group of new lawsuits against Diddy were filed on Sunday night. These are civil lawsuits brought by victims, not the government. One of them alleges that the rapper drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl while two celebrities joined at a VMA afterparty in New York in September of 2000.
Ironically, this case would be beyond the statute of limitations by previous laws, but new laws enacted in 2019 allow child victims to file cases until they are 55 years old.
The new victim is anonymously named as Jane Doe in the filings. She claims that Diddy and a male and female celebrity were in on the assault. Combs attended the 2000 VMAs with Jennifer Lopez as his date.
Diddy’s lawyers are asking the courts to reveal the accusers’ names because, they argue, they cannot “play a guessing game” to defend themselves against people they don’t know.
