A woman who has accused Sean "Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter of raping her after an awards show in 2000 when she was 13 can remain anonymous as her lawsuit proceeds, a federal judge has ruled.
The plaintiff, who claims in her lawsuit Jay-Z and Sean Combs assaulted her at the after-party of the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, has acknowledged inconsistencies with her account. However, she has stood by her allegations.
Carter and his lawyer have strongly denied the claims in both public statements and in court filings, accusing Buzbee, the woman's lawyer, of conducting an "extortionate campaign" against him.
Combs, who was arrested in September on sex-trafficking charges, remains in custody in the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Last month, a judge denied him bail in the case.
