The attorneys representing Diddy have requested a New York court to dismiss some of the allegations made against him in a sexual assault case filed in November. As per People, on Friday, Diddy’s attorneys claimed that some of the allegations, “were brought under statutes that did not exist at the time the alleged misconduct occurred.”
What does the Diddy’s lawyers filing say?
The complaint specifically states that because the status pertaining to revenge porn and human trafficking were not in place when Joi Dickerson- Neal claimed Diddy had sexually abused her in 1991, such accusations should be rejected with prejudice.
As per People, the Rapper’s lawyers now contend in the filing that the claims “cannot survive” the motion to dismiss because the New York State Revenge Porn Law and the New York Services for Victims Of Human Trafficking Law were among the laws that came into effect after the alleged assault and were codified in 2019 and 2007, respectively.
Dickerson-Neal’s claims in the filing were called ‘false, offensive, and salacious.”
