Diddy Goes on the Offensive ... Ya Can't Sue Me Under a Law That Didn't Exist!!!

Published | Updated

Diddy and his attorneys want one of the sexual assault lawsuits tossed out of court, but if they're successful it could change the game in dozens of the other civil cases he's facing.

Here's the deal ... Diddy's zeroing-in on New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law (GMVA), because that's the statute a Jane Doe used to sue him back in December for a sexual assault she claims happened at a charity basketball game in 1991 at City College.

The date is what's important here, at least according to Diddy's attorney Mark Cuccaro. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, he points out the GMVA was passed on December 19, 2000. Back in 2022, New York made an amendment that extended the statute of limitations for claims under the GMVA, from 7 to 9 years.

THEY'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG

All the talk of celebrities being caught on video participating in Diddy's "Freak-Offs" is BS -- so says Diddy's lawyer, Teny Geragos, who came out swinging on TMZ's "2 Angry Men" podcast.

Geragos flatly told Harvey and her dad, Mark Geragos, no celebs are on any of the tapes seized by the feds during the raids at Diddy's homes.

Likewise, Teny says none of the criminal charges against Diddy involve minors ... something that has gotten a tremendous amount of play in the media. She says the media has gotten this case utterly wrong.

There have been allegations of Diddy sexually abusing minors in civil cases, and Teny has a lot to say about that ... and to say she has disdain for some of the civil lawyers would be a gross understatement.
