Second Lawsuit: A Jane Doe filing claims that in 1990/1991, both Combs and singer Aaron Hall sexually assaulted her and a friend at Hall's apartment after an MCA Records event. The lawsuit alleges Combs later physically attacked her at her residence, causing her to lose consciousness.
Key Details:
- These lawsuits follow Combs' settlement with Cassie Ventura
- Filed under New York's Adult Survivors Act before its Thanksgiving deadline
- Names multiple defendants including MCA Music Entertainment and Geffen Records
- Combs' representatives deny allegations, calling them "fabricated claims" and "money grab"
The Adult Survivors Act, passed in 2020, provided a one-year window for filing legal action over historical sexual assault cases, typically barred by statutes of limitations. Several other celebrities face similar lawsuits under this act.
