After several attempts by Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, to throw out the case or force the woman to be publicly identified, Judge Analisa Torres sided with his accuser last week and granted the woman anonymity for the next stage of the process.
Spiro has since said that the sexual assault case filed against the rapper earlier this month should be dismissed due to a number of issues involving a combination of technicalities, missed deadlines and the locations involved.
Spiro said Tony Buzbee, who represents the Alabama woman who says she was raped by Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 55, overlooked critical details that defeat the case. TMZ reported Monday after reviewing legal documents.
Jay-Z’s accuser, who is identified as Jane Doe in court documents, said she was assaulted by the rapper and Combs at an MTV Music Awards afterparty in September 2000.
Spiro told the court that he intends to file a motion to dismiss, citing the timing of the events in question, since the legal statute under which the woman is suing was not implemented until three months later, in December 2000, he reported. the middle.
Spiro said in legal documents that the statute “cannot be applied against the rapper retroactively,” according to the outlet.
The woman said in her legal filing that she was living in Rochester in 2000 when she headed to New York City and befriended a limo driver who took her to the party on a ride that lasted about 20 minutes.
Spiro told the court that the 20-minute travel time essentially guarantees that the alleged incident did not occur in New York City, again invalidating the lawsuit, the outlet reported.
