\n\tLawyers for Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs pushed back against a woman\u2019s lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault, filing a motion on Friday (April 26) to dismiss some claims that were not under law when the alleged incident occurred.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe motion filed in a New York court claims Combs cannot be sued because certain laws didn\u2019t exist when Joi Dickerson-Deal made the allegations against him in 1991.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe music mogul\u2019s lawyers want certain statues from Dickerson-Deal\u2019s claims such as revenge porn and human trafficking to be dismissed with prejudice.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a filing last year, she said Combs \u201cintentionally drugged\u201d her then brought her home and sexually assaulted her after a date in Harlem when she was a 19-year-old college student.<\/p>\n

\n\tWithout her knowledge, Combs videotaped the assault and later shared it with several friends in the music industry, the suit alleges. He denied the allegations, accusing her of seeking to exploit the New York law that temporarily extended the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n

\n\tDickerson-Deal\u2019s claim came nearly three decades after his alleged misconduct and the New York State Revenge Porn Law was not codified until 2019, Combs\u2019 lawyers said.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis attorneys also pointed out a few others including the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law, which came into effect in 2007.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Associated Press<\/em> does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Dickerson has done.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast month, Combs\u2019 properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal authorities in a sex trafficking investigation. The criminal investigation is a major escalation in the scrutiny of Combs, who has been the defendant in several recent sexual abuse lawsuits.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a lawsuit Combs settled the day after it was filed in November, his former protege and girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, sued him alleging years of sexual abuse, including rape. The lawsuit said he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed them.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Combs coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother of Combs\u2019 accusers was a woman who said he raped her two decades ago when she was 17.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs and his attorneys have denied all of the allegations in the lawsuits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
