Factual Allegations
Disclaimer: allegations as pled by the plaintiff, summarized by Grok.

(FAC) On March 23, 2018, Ashley Parham was lured to Shane Pearce’s residence in Orinda, California, under the pretense of assisting with his cancer medications. After a prior encounter where Parham dismissed Sean Combs (Diddy) during a Facetime call, Diddy arrived with others, including Kristina Khorram and Brandi Cunningham, and confronted her. Diddy threatened her with a knife, and despite Khorram’s suggestion to preserve her for trafficking, he and others, including Odell Beckham Jr. and Drew Desbordes, violently raped her vaginally and anally, using a television remote and drugs. Parham was doused with oil, drugged, and threatened with family harm. Concurrently, John and Jane Doe were kidnapped from Las Vegas by John Pelletier, falsely claiming warrants, and trafficked through California safe houses to the same Orinda residence. They witnessed Parham’s assault, and Jane Doe was sexually assaulted by Ruben Valdez. The defendants, part of an alleged RICO enterprise, obstructed justice, with Pelletier posing as a sheriff and others covering up the crimes. Parham escaped, grazing Diddy with a knife, and reported the assault, but no investigation followed.

Prayer for Relief

Plaintiffs demand judgment for compensatory, consequential, exemplary, punitive, restitution, unjust enrichment, equitable, and treble damages in an amount to be determined at trial, including costs of suit, attorneys’ fees, and other relief deemed just and proper.

Disposition
Dismissal without Prejudice — December 16, 2025

The case was dismissed for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) because the plaintiffs failed to serve the operative complaint on any defendants despite multiple extensions and warnings, and failed to secure new counsel or indicate intent to proceed pro se after their counsel withdrew. The dismissal is without prejudice, allowing plaintiffs to refile if they meet other legal requirements. Defendant Odell Beckham Jr.'s motion for sanctions was denied, finding a reasonable factual basis for the claims against him at the time of filing. Remaining motions were denied as moot.

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiffs were required to serve Defendants within 90 days after the complaint was filed.
