Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team filed a motion Friday to dismiss a number of claims waged against the music mogul from a sexual assault lawsuit established in November.
The third cause of action in Dickerson-Neal's suit alleges a claim under the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law . His lawyers argue that the VHTL became effective on Nov. 1, 2007, which was approximately 16 years after the alleged sexual assault. Dickerson-Neal's claim was filed against Combs, his Bad Boy Entertainment group, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises, LLC.
similar form was provided for Combs Enterprises, LLC., which listed the initial filing date for the entity as Nov. 17, 2004. Diddy's team also invoked a recent ruling in another New York case where Steven Tyler was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl in 1975. Jeanne Bellino initially filed the suit against the Aerosmith singer under the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, a law which extends the statute of limitations by two years for victims of sex abuse.
Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, called the raids a 'gross overuse of military-level force' in a statement provided to Fox News Digital at the time. 'This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,' Dyer said.
There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.' In addition to the Dickerson-Neal suit, Diddy is also being sued by Liza Gardner, Jane Doe, and music producer Rodeny 'Lil Rod' Jones. Combs has denied each of the claims.
