A federal judge in New York dismisses singer Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, ruling that most of her abuse-related claims are time-barred. Reported allegations include emotional and physical abuse, with one claim describing groping. In the decision, Judge Katherine Polk Failla finds that many of Richard’s claims were not filed within the required deadline after the events described in the complaint—leading the court to throw out the majority of the federal case. The court also rejects portions of the suit dealing with copyright issues, according to reporting from multiple outlets, including a finding that Combs is a co-author of the song at issue, which undermines Richard’s copyright theories. In addition, the court declines to keep a sexual-assault-related count under federal supplemental jurisdiction. While the federal claims are dismissed, the judge’s ruling allows at least one allegation to be refiled in state court, and coverage notes that some aspects of the suit may still proceed through New York state proceedings.
