Alleged rape victim of Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs can remain anonymous for now, judge rules

An Alabama woman who says she was raped by Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs when she was 13 can proceed anonymously in her lawsuit against the rap moguls, a judge ruled. In her written order released on Thursday local time, Judge Analisa Torres also chastised the lawyer representing Jay-Z for what she described as his combative motions and "inflammatory language" against the plaintiff's lawyer, calling them inappropriate. Mr Spiro also noted that the woman's father has said he does not recall driving from Rochester to pick his daughter up in New York City, as she says he did. Judge Torres wrote in her order that Mr Spiro, who has been on the case less than three weeks, has submitted a "litany of letters and motions attempting to impugn the character of plaintiff's lawyer, many of them expounding on the purported 'urgency' of this case."
