Sean “Diddy” Combs pushed back against a woman’s lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault, filing a motion on Friday to dismiss some claims that were not under law when the alleged incident occurred.The motion filed in a New York court claims Combs cannot be sued because certain laws didn’t exist when Joi Dickerson-Deal made the allegations against him in 1991.The music mogul’s lawyers want certain statutes from Dickerson-Deal’s claims such as revenge porn and human trafficking to be dismissed with prejudice.In a filing last year, she said Combs “intentionally drugged” her then brought her home and sexually assaulted her after a date in Harlem when she was a 19-year-old college student.Without her knowledge, Combs videotaped the assault and later shared it with several friends in the music industry, the suit alleges. He denied the allegations, accusing her of seeking to exploit the New York law that temporarily extended the statute of limitations.Dickerson-Deal’s claim came nearly three decades after his alleged misconduct and the New York State Revenge Porn Law was not codified until 2019, Combs’ lawyers said.His attorneys also pointed out a few others including the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law, which came into effect in 2007.The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Dickerson has done.Last month, Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal authorities in a sex trafficking investigation.

Tommy Lee over an alleged sexual assault in a helicopter.It comes after a woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claimed in a lawsuit last December that the Mötley Crüe drummer assaulted her in 2003, having lured her to his personal helicopter “under false pretences”.In the filing, she claimed that went on a 40-minute trip from San Diego to Van Nuys with Lee’s personal helicopter pilot David Martz before Lee joined them when they landed.She went on to allege that the two men “consumed several alcoholic beverages, smoked marijuana, and snorted cocaine” before Lee “then proceeded to sexually assault [her] by forcibly groping, kissing, penetrating her with his fingers, and attempting to force her to perform oral copulation.”As a result of the alleged assault, Doe said she had suffered severe emotional, physical, and psychological distress and that she didn’t report it because she believed it was an isolated event and that police wouldn’t take her seriously.Yesterday (May 6), Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Holly J. Fujie sided with Lee after the drummer’s lawyer argued that the claims didn’t qualify for revival under the law the Jane Doe plaintiff used when she filed her original lawsuit, reports Rolling Stone.The law, known as the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, requires that plaintiffs show that some type of “legal entity” engaged in a cooperative effort to hide evidence of their alleged sexual assault.Lee’s lawyer A.

Many aspects of it were very intimate and personal.”“The truth is this, as a person that has in the past taken many, many substances and always been disappointed with their inability to deliver the kind of tranquility and peace and even transcendence I always felt I’ve been looking for, something occurred in the process of baptism that was incredible, overwhelming — literally overwhelming because I was obviously underwater, and it was the River Thames — at some points.
