Diddy Can’t Be Sued Over Alleged Rapes From the 1990s, Judge Says
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – A judge ruled that sexual assault claims from the 1990s against Diddy are time-barred under New York law while allegations from the early 2000s proceed in ongoing litigation.
- On July 8, Justice Leslie A. Stroth dismissed Lampros’ 1990s rape claims due to expired statute of limitations.
- The 2022 GMVA law was amended to provide a two-year filing window, but a recent appellate ruling limited claims to those after December 19, 2000, restricting older allegations.
- Lampros alleged rape in 1995, sexual assault in 1996, coerced performance and rape in 1998, and assault in late 2000 or early 2001, with claims from the 1990s now dismissed due to statute of limitations.

- The July 8 ruling by Justice Leslie Stroth sets a legal precedent by enforcing a December 2000 cutoff date, potentially limiting many retroactive sexual assault claims under the GMVA, impacting dozens of pending lawsuits.
