Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs won a partial victory on Monday when a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him last year was dismissed because the accuser declined to reveal her identity.
In the suit filed Oct. 24, a woman only identified as Jane Doe said Combs attempted to sexually assault her at an event in 1995, and when she fended him off he struck her. The woman is represented by Tony Buzbee, who filed a motion in January asking that she be allowed to remain anonymous while the case proceeds. The court rejected that motion and gave the woman until March 20 to refile under her real name, which she ultimately chose not to do.
