COURTHOUSE,
Sept 25 – 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 20, days after Combs
was indicted and twice denied
bail in the SDNY, as live
tweeted by Inner City Press,
Combs' legal team wrote to
SDNY Judge Naomi Reice
Buchwald asking for a
pre-motion conference in
anticipation of moving to
dismiss Crystal McKinney's
complaint. September 20 letter
on Patreon here.
On September 25,
McKinney's lawyers opposed in
a four page letter beginning:
"We represent Plaintiff
Crystal McKinney in the
above-referenced matter and
write in opposition to
Defendants’ request for a
pre-motion conference (ECF No.
26) to file their anticipated
Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s
Amended Complaint. (ECF No.
19). Defendants argue that the
NYC Gender Motivated Violence
Protection Act, N.Y.C. Admin.
Code § 10-1105, et. seq.
(“GMVA”), is preempted by
state law. Defendants fail to
inform the Court that this
baseless argument has already
been rejected by the Appellate
Division." Full letter on
Patreon here.
