Jay-Z lawyer to ‘use loophole in a bid to throw out rape case,’ bombshell docs show after attempt to unmask accuser
Share:
JAY-Z's attorney has reportedly attempted to throw out the rape lawsuit against the music mogul. The rapper's lawyer Alex Spiro is allegedly gearing up to argue the bombshell case is full of legal holes. Jay-Z, 55, is named in an anonymous lawsuit alleging he took turns to sexually attack a 13-year-old with fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.

An unnamed female celebrity was also said to have been in the room at an MTV VMAs after-party in New York on September 7, 2000. Spiro is allegedly getting ready to quash the claims put against Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, by an unnamed Alabama woman referred to as Jane Doe in court documents, according to TMZ.

The attorney will reportedly push that the statute the accuser is suing under was not enacted until after the alleged incident, according to court documents seen by TMZ. Spiro has claimed the statute came into effect in December 2000, which would have been three months after the alleged rape.

The music mogul's attorney will reportedly put forward another argument - even if this legal statute does apply. This bombshell sexual lawsuit was originally filed in New York in October but refiled in December to include Jay-Z. Both rappers have denied the allegations put against them.
In the suit, Jane Doe tried to gain entry to the VMAs in New York City without a ticket on September 7, 2000. Approaching limo drivers outside of the event, one of them claimed to be working for Diddy and invited her to an afterparty. Doe claimed she was later driven to a house where the party was being held and was raped by both rappers.
