COURTHOUSE,
Nov 8 – 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
November 8 Combs' lawyers
moved to dismiss McKinney's
complaint, saying state
preempts City law - and
implicitly trashing McKinney,
emphasizing that she went to
Cipriani Downtown after she
"donned jewel encrusted
jeans." Motion on Patreon here
