Jay-Z, accused of rape, warned by the courts for his “inappropriate” defense after the complaint

JUSTICE – « This is unacceptable. » These words are those of American judge Analisa Tores who, in a document relayed this Thursday, December 26, by several American media including the magazine Peoplespoke about a request made by the defense of rapper Jay-Z, cited in a rape complaint alongside P. Diddy.

« Shawn Carter’s (Jay-Z’s real name) attorney’s continued filing of aggressive motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit the his client », deplores the judge.

Before adding: “ The Court will not expedite the legal process simply because the lawyer requests it. » As the magazine specifies Peoplethe latter rejected a new request from Jay-Z’s lawyer, Me Alex Sapiro, aiming to cancel the complaint on the grounds that the accuser did not reveal her identity.

According to a new version of this civil complaint against Sean “Diddy” Combs filed in December, Jay-Z, whose name did not appear in the first version, is also accused of having raped a teenage girl at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000.

Sean Combs charged

“Carter was with Combs during many of the incidents described herein. Both perpetrators must be brought to justice,” is written in the complaint. In the previous version, Jay-Z was identified as “ Celebrity A ». He denied the accusations, describing the lawyer in charge of the case as being “a deplorable human”.

While the rapper’s lawyer immediately declared this Thursday that he wanted to file a new request to have the complaint canceled, Sean Combs is already charged with sex trafficking and extortion. At the same time, he is being prosecuted in civil court for sexual violence which, according to several complaints, took place during popular Hollywood parties, organized by the rapper himself.
