Diddy’s Lawyer Seeks Dismissal
Diddy’s Lawyer Fights To Dismiss Sexual Assault Case.
According to Diddy’s legal team, the ‘Adult Survivors Act ‘was not in effect. Therefore, Joi’s claims should not be allowed to go forward.
The ASA started in 2007, which poses a problem for Joi’s claims. In documents obtained by USA Today, Joi filed the complaint against Diddy in November 2023.
Her filing came just a day short of the ASA limitations expiring.
Diddy’s attorney, Johnathan Davis, argues that the ASA does not permit Joi to ‘revive claims under statutes that did not exist.’
In addition, Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises did not exist back then. So, attorney Davis claims, ‘no allegations of wrongdoing are pled against them.’
That claims that Joi Dickerson-Neal’s claims against the companies mentioned above ‘fail as a matter of law.’
Arguments Presented In Sexual Assault Case
Diddy has denied all claims by Joi he sexually assaulted her. But will Diddy’s attorney’s defense be enough to have charges dropped?
On the other hand, Diddy’s claim of citing the law for dismissal will be granted. This issue is very interesting, to say the least, especially if a judge decides to dismiss Joi’s claims.
A case of this magnitude may set a new precedent for other similar cases. Stay tuned to see how this will all play out.
