TI and Tiny demand dismissal of sexual assault and assault charges

TI and his wife Tiny want to have a lawsuit for sexual assault and battery dismissed. Earlier this year, the couple was charged with drugging and sexually abusing a woman in 2005.

In January, a woman named Jane Doe filed a lawsuit accusing TI and Tiny of sexual abuse, assault, negligence and false imprisonment, among other charges. According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop on Friday (July 5), the defendants are now challenging the validity of the civil suit in a California court.

“The claims asserted in the Complaint are time-barred because the statute of limitations expired over sixteen years ago,” her attorneys argued. “In addition, despite the fact that Defendants Clifford Harris (“Mr. Harris”) and Tameka Harris (“Ms. Harris”) (collectively, “Defendants” or “Harrises”) deny that any of the alleged conduct ever occurred, the Complaint fails to set forth facts that would adequately support the claims asserted in the Complaint.”

“Accordingly, defendants seek to dismiss all claims in the complaint because they fail to state a claim upon which compensation can be awarded. Since there is no way to cure these deficiencies, defendants seek to dismiss the entire complaint.”

The couple hopes to have the lawsuit dismissed so that if the motion is successful, Jane Doe cannot file another lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that TI and Tiny met the plaintiff at a Los Angeles nightclub while she was in the Air Force. The woman claims Tiny tampered with one of her drinks, which led to her and two other girls ending up in a hotel room with the couple. She claims that after showering and massaging TI while she watched porn, he penetrated her vagina with his toe, despite her repeated objections.

“Are you OK? Looks like you’re in last place,” he told her after she went to the bathroom to vomit. The woman said she then passed out and was escorted out of the hotel room the next morning while still in “severe pain.”

Although the incident allegedly occurred nearly twenty years ago, the opportunity to refile the lawsuit has been reopened under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act. TI and Tiny have vehemently denied all allegations and dismissed them as an extortion attempt.
