Overview
A federal judge has ruled that an Alabama woman may proceed anonymously in her lawsuit against Jay-Z and Sean Combs, who she alleges raped her at age 13. The judge condemned Jay-Z's legal team for aggressive and inappropriate tactics while denying their effort to dismiss the case. The woman's amended lawsuit accuses both men of drugging and assaulting her following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Although Jay-Z has denied the allegations and claimed inconsistencies in the plaintiff's account, the court found her anonymity justified due to the sensitivity of the case.
