Sean “Jay-Z” Carter is facing new allegations that he raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000 along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, NBC News reports.
In the lawsuit, an anonymous accuser, identified as “Jane Doe,” claimed the assault occurred during an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.
The lawsuit was originally filed in October, listing Diddy as a defendant. On Sunday (December 8), the lawsuit was refiled to include Jay-Z. It is among several suits accusing Diddy of assault and rape recently filed by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee.
Jay-Z vehemently denied the allegations in a statement to NBC News.
“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” Jay-Z said.
“These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
The amended lawsuit comes after federal prosecutors charged Diddy in September with racketeering, sex trafficking, and other offenses. Diddy has denied the allegations against him and is currently behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial scheduled for May 5.
The lawsuit refiling on Sunday marks the first suit...
