- Justice Leslie A. Stroth
In 1999, Jane Doe, a 23-year-old model and radio station employee, attended a VIP party hosted by Sean Combs in New York City. After drinks and conversation, Combs offered her a safe place to stay as the night grew late, pressuring her to have another drink, which she partially consumed. Suspecting it was drugged as she became drowsy, she texted his address to her husband for safety. At his residence, Combs turned aggressive, groping her and attempting to force sex for four hours despite her refusals and marital status reminders. She escaped as the drug wore off, deeply traumatized.
Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages for physical injuries, emotional distress, and other harms; punitive damages; attorneys’ fees and costs; pre- and post-judgment interest; attachment of Defendants’ New York assets; and other relief deemed just and proper.
The action is discontinued without prejudice and without costs to either plaintiff or defendants, pursuant to Rule 3217(a)(1) of the New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules. The stipulation may be filed with the Clerk of the Court without further notice.
