COURTHOUSE,
Dec 6 – In May 2024 Crystal
McKinney sued Sean Combs for
sexual assault under the NYC
Gender Motivated Violence in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York.
The suit
recounts Combs inviting
McKinney to Cipriani Downtown
- in 2003 - then to his studio
on West 44th Street where he
drugged and assaulted her,
according to the
complaint.
On September 24,
2024, after Combs' arrest and
detention in the MDC, Thalia
Graves sued Combs and others
alleging a 2001 rape,
complaint on Patreon here.
On September 26
in Jane Doe v. Combs,
plaintiff's counsel filed an
affidavit by NYS Senator Brad
Hoylman-Sigal initially filed
in a case against Leon Black,
for the proposition that the
state statute he sponsored,
NYS CVA, was not intended to
preempt the NYC law Doe is
suing under.
On December 5,
Judge Clarke ruled on "MOTION
to Dismiss Amended Complaint.
filed by Daddy's House
Recordings, Inc., Sean Combs,
Bad Boy Entertainment
Holdings, Inc.. For the
reasons stated herein, the
motion to dismiss is GRANTED
in part and DENIED in part.
The cause of action against
Daddy's House and Bad Boy is
DISMISSED. Plaintiff is also
now directed to comply with
the Court's earlier ruling
(ECF No. 49) finding that she
may no longer proceed
anonymously."
On December 6 the
amended complaint was filed,
alleging rape at age 17 in
2003 by Combs, Harve Pierre
and "the third assailant" -
this time, naming the
plaintiff: Anna Kane.
