Judge explodes at Jay-Z in child rape case and rules against rapper after 'relentless' courtroom plot
Share:
Jay-Z faced a scathing rebuke for 'wasting court resources' in his fight against a woman who accused him of raping her when she was 13. The music mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has made several attempts through his lawyer Alex Spiro to quash the case or force the woman to be publicly identified.

But on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres sided with his accuser, granting the woman anonymity for the next stage of proceedings and slamming Spiro in the process. The woman, referred to as Jane Doe, alleges Carter, along with disgraced rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, drugged and raped her when she was 13 at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City.

In a five-page filing released on Thursday, Judge Torres condemned Spiro's aggressive legal maneuvers, describing them as 'combative' and filled with 'inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks.'. She accused Carter's attorney of attempting to 'fast-track the judicial process' by repeatedly filing motions to reveal the identity of Jane Doe and dismiss the case.

'Carter's lawyer's relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,' Torres stated firmly. 'The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.'.

The judge in the case of rape allegations against Jay-Z stretching back 25 years issued a scathing rebuke over the conduct of the rapper's attorney. According to the lawsuit, the alleged incident occurred after the accuser, then a teenager trying to get into the awards show at Radio City Music Hall, was invited to an after-party by a man claiming to be Combs' limo driver.
