Jay-Z Wants Assault Lawsuit Tossed, Citing Statute of Limitations

Jay-Z and his legal team are fighting hard to dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit against him.

His attorney, Alex Spiro, argues that the rape lawsuit against the rapper is full of holes and seeks to have the case thrown out. In new court documents obtained by TMZ, Spiro is preparing to file a motion to dismiss the suit, arguing that the statute under which Jane Doe is suing didn’t come into effect until after the alleged assault occurred, making it inapplicable retroactively.

As Spiro explains in the latest filing, the statute was enacted in December 2000, three months after Jane Doe alleged she was assaulted by Jay-Z and Diddy at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party. Even if the statute did apply, Spiro contends it only covers conduct that occurred within New York City, and the location of the alleged assault doesn’t fit this criteria. Jane Doe declares in her complaint that she was driven from Radio City Music Hall to a “large, white residence with a gated U-shaped driveway,” about 20 minutes away. Spiro argues that such a residence, if it existed at the time, would have been outside NYC’s territorial boundaries.

Spiro also argues that any claims from Jane Doe have expired, as the statute of limitations ran out in August 2021. Jay-Z’s legal team is clearly pushing hard to get the case dismissed. It must be noted that Jay denies the assault ever took place. However, it seems he is exploring every avenue to expedite that process.

In response, Jane Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, insists these are technical arguments and that the law firmly supports the side of victims, adding, “The law is well settled that we are correct.”

Just days ago, Hov’s legal team suffered a setback when a judge ruled that his accuser can remain anonymous for now.
