Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss rape case from then-13-year-old accuser denied by judge

Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a then-13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge, who also granted the “Jane Doe” accuser the ability to proceed anonymously, despite efforts from the rap mogul’s legal team to have her reveal her identity publicly.

Jay-Z, whose given name is Shawn Carter, has vigorously denied the accusations.

In an order filed on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres penned a scathing decision, condemning Carter’s lawyer’s aggressive tactics in moving to dismiss the case.

“Carter’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” the order read. “The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.”
