Las Vegas police announced on Tuesday that they received a report of a sexual assault involving rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, but closed it because it was made outside the statute of limitations.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Metropolitan Police Department received a report on May 8 of an incident alleged to have occurred in 2010 involving the couple.
Metro explained that Nevada now allows reports of sexual assault to be investigated within 20 years, but that law is not retroactive. Incidents alleged to have occurred before 2015 still fall under the earlier four year limit. The department said the Clark County District Attorney’s office also reviewed the information and the statute of limitations.
“Based on this, the case was closed, which is standard procedure for crimes reported outside of the statute,” Metro said.
No charges were filed in Las Vegas. Separately, the couple’s attorney, Steve Sadow, has said they have not spoken to or been contacted by the Los Angeles Police Department regarding a separate report. T.I. and Tiny have not been charged with any crime.
