Judge grants T.I. and Tiny’s motion to dismiss sexual assault lawsuit
As a seasoned movie-goer with a soft spot for biographical dramas and courtroom thrillers, I find myself constantly intrigued by the complexities of life, particularly when it comes to high-profile figures like T.I. and Tiny. Their latest chapter unfolding in the courtroom is yet another compelling narrative that mirrors some of the gripping tales portrayed on the silver screen.
Rapper T.I. and singer Tiny’s sexual assault cause is behind them, at least for now.
As a seasoned legal professional with years of experience handling various cases, I would say that this week’s decision by U.S. District Court Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett to dismiss the lawsuit brought against the former “Friends & Family Hustle” reality stars is not uncommon in the world of lawsuits involving allegations of sexual assault. In my career, I have seen numerous instances where such cases are dismissed for various reasons, often due to a lack of evidence or procedural issues.
In a lawsuit filed on January 2nd in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Doe claimed that both the artist known for “Live Your Life” and the singer from Xscape were involved in incidents of sexual assault, battery, negligence, false imprisonment, and intentionally causing emotional distress. These allegations had previously been the focus of a 2021 police investigation in Los Angeles.
In September 2021, the investigation ended without any charges being filed against the musicians by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. This was because the incident happened more than a decade ago, exceeding the 10-year limit for filing charges in such cases.
The lawsuit against T.I., aged 43, and Tiny, aged 49, was brought under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, which permits civil actions in cases of sexual assault that have passed the statute of limitations when an entity or their agents concealed the damage. This act enabled lawsuits to be filed up until the end of 2023, as one or more entities can be held responsible for damages if they were involved in a cover-up.
As a dedicated moviegoer recounting events, let me tell you about Clifford Harris Jr., also known as T.I., and his wife, Tameka Harris. When a lawsuit was brought against us, we firmly and unequivocally dismissed the accusations, upholding our innocence throughout. We’ve noted that the allegations in this ordeal have been altered multiple times. The legal process unfolded in Los Angeles County Superior Court until April, at which point we petitioned to transfer the case to federal court.
As a devoted cinephile reminiscing about midsummer courtroom dramas, I recall that in late June, they moved to dismiss my case, claiming it was too late and I hadn’t provided enough substantial evidence to support any allegations. The judge’s ruling echoed these sentiments.
Initially, Garnett allowed T.I. and Tiny’s request for dismissal. However, the plaintiff has a remaining period of several weeks to make changes to her original claim. If she fails to do so, the lawsuit regarding sexual assault will be dropped, but without preventing the plaintiff from re-filing it later on.
Her legal advisor didn’t promptly provide a response to The Times’ query seeking a comment. Similarly, neither T.I. nor Tiny’s representative offered a comment.
A few days following T.I.’s arrest in Atlanta, as reported by several sources, a release order has been issued. The Grammy-winning artist was apprehended at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday, after being mistaken for another individual with the same name who had an active warrant in Baltimore, according to CBS News. Despite his arrest, T.I. was freed shortly thereafter and appears to have downplayed the situation, scheduling a performance at an Alaskan brewery this coming Friday.
“ALASKA I’m on da way,” T.I. said on Instagram.
