A federal judge in New York dismisses singer Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, ruling that most of her claims are not timely under New York’s statute of limitations. Reports say the court finds that allegations related to emotional and physical abuse—including claims that Combs groped her—were filed beyond the one-year deadline required after the events Richard described. Several outlets also state that a portion of the case is dismissed because the copyright-related claims fail, with the court determining that Combs is a co-author of the song at issue. One sexual assault-related count is not decided on the merits because the judge declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over it in federal court. Multiple outlets further note that Richard is allowed to refile certain claims in state court, including at least one allegation tied to sexual assault, while time-barred claims cannot be revived, including those that missed the deadline by more than a decade. The ruling is attributed to Judge Katherine Polk Failla, with a decision dated Friday and released publicly on Monday.
