Diddy wants sexual assault lawsuit dismissed due to lack of existing law at time of alleged incident.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the well-known media mogul, is fighting back against some claims made in a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him. In a recent motion filed by his lawyers on April 26th, they requested the dismissal of these claims on the grounds that the laws against them were not in existence at the time of the alleged incident.

The lawsuit was filed by Joi Dickerson-Neal last year, who accused Combs of drugging and assaulting her at her apartment in Harlem back in 1991. According to the Associated Press, she also claimed that he filmed the assault without her consent and shared it with his friends. At the time, Dickerson-Neal was only 19 years old.

In her lawsuit, she listed the claims of revenge porn and human trafficking. However, it was later revealed that these laws were not enacted until years after the alleged assault took place. Due to this, Combs' defense team argued for the dismissal of these claims without prejudice. However, while fighting to get the motion passed, Combs himself denied all the accusations made against him. He also went on to claim that Dickerson-Neal was trying to take advantage of these laws, which allowed her to pursue legal action against him even after the statute of limitations had passed.

This lawsuit is just one in a series of legal troubles for Combs, with one of his ex-partners, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, also filing a lawsuit against him last November. The two settled the case the very next day, but it sparked a trend of others coming forward with their own allegations against the entertainer. In February, a record producer filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of soliciting prostitutes and sexually harassing him. This also led to the FBI raiding Combs' homes in both Miami and Los Angeles. As a result, Combs stepped down from his position at Revolt and has since remained out of the public eye.

Despite the mounting accusations against him, Combs continues to maintain his innocence. In fact, his ex-partner Cassie is reportedly cooperating with the federal probe into his actions. As his legal troubles continue to deepen, it remains to be seen how this will all play out for the media mogul.
