Sean “Diddy” Combs is requesting a federal judge dismiss a lawsuit that accuses him and two others of raping a 17-year-old girl in New York in 2003.
The filing was submitted Friday, as the 54-year-old music mogul continues battling several other lawsuits related to sexual misconduct and is in the midst of being investigated for sex-trafficking.
His attorneys called the rape allegation a “false and hideous claim,” and argued that the lawsuit was filed too late under New York state law.
A judge has ruled that the plaintiff will have to reveal her name, which has thus far been kept hidden, if she wishes to move forward with the suit.
Previously referred to as “Jane Doe” in the case, she claims that in 2003, as an 11th grade student in Detroit, she was flown out to visit Diddy by the former president of his Bad Boy Entertainment record label, Harve Pierre.
She alleges that when she met up with Diddy in his recording studio, she was given drugs and alcohol and was unable to consent to sex when he, Pierre and another man began raping her.
