Diddy's Trial: #MeToo Law Opens Floodgates for Allegations | JQJO

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing a criminal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, stemming from a wave of civil lawsuits filed under New York's Adult Survivors Act. The Act provided a one-year window for victims of sexual assault to file claims, regardless of the statute of limitations. Cassie Ventura's lawsuit, filed shortly before the deadline, detailed allegations of abuse and may have triggered the federal investigation. Dozens more lawsuits followed, and evidence from Ventura's case will be presented in Combs' criminal trial. The case highlights the impact of #MeToo legislation and the ongoing need for such laws.
