Judge Blasts Jay-Z’s Lawyer In Decision To Deny Dismissal Of Child Rape Suit
HuffPost
A New York judge condemned the rapper’s attorney Alex Spiro for his “relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language.”
A New York judge has thwarted Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss sexual assault allegations leveled against him and fellow rapper and hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Jay-Z, whose legal name is Shawn Carter, was named alongside Combs in a civil lawsuit that accuses the two men of raping an underage girl, identified in the suit as “Jane Doe.”
In a court order issued Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres permitted Doe to proceed with her case anonymously, despite a demand earlier this month from Alex Spiro, an attorney for Carter, that she be publicly identified.
Torres also criticized Spiro for what she described as a “relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks,” calling it “inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client.”
“The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it,” she wrote.
