Author Topic: Legal deadline prompts a slew of celebrity sexual assault lawsuits (Read 962 times)

The list keeps growing: hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, actor Jamie Foxx, rock star Axl Rose, Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr., celebrity photographer Terry Richardson, music executive L.A. Reid.

In the past month, a slew of sexual assault lawsuits has been filed against high-profile men in the entertainment industry for alleged abuse that took place years - and in some cases, decades - ago. The cases have been filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law signed in 2022 that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for filing a sexual assault complaint, allowing survivors one year to file suits against their alleged abusers, regardless of when the alleged abuse happened.

The act is set to expire Friday, prompting a flurry of last-minute complaints and summonses as survivors seek remedy for abuses they say they experienced as adults. On Wednesday alone, Rose and actors Gooding and Foxx were hit with lawsuits filed under the act. And in a last-minute filing Thursday, Combs was accused of another sexual assault. (R&B singer Cassie sued him earlier this month; the pair settled out of court the next day.)

Unbelievable.

Clown world but it's not funny but terrifying.

If I had read this 10 years ago I would think it's a joke.

We can probably expect such law to be passed again but permanently.

What about evidence?

Have they passed a special law that eliminates the need for evidence?

The state of NY writes laws specifically for the lawyers lobby- and that is what this Survivors Act is all about. Ambulance chasers galore.

What happens is one girl accuses then the lawyer puts out a statement if anyone wants to join in the law suit and almost immediately they get ten more. Then it becomes 10 girls against the celebrity word. Hard for jury to believe the one when ten were coached to say the same story.

So many women sleep with a celebrity and when he dumps them after one night they feel where's my Rolls Royce and mansion? Then as the years go on they get pissed and want what they perceive is their due. Word to the wise. If you have means be very careful.

Notice how in several cases there are heaps of "allegations" and hearsay but no proof!

The left has been pushing "guilty until proven innocent" for years.
