Rap mogul Shawn Carter’s attorneys have questioned the timeline of a civil lawsuit alleging he raped a minor in 2000. The defense is calling the allegations a “sham.”
According to reports, the lawsuit was filed in 2019 by a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Carter in 2000 when she was just 16 years old. Her attorneys have argued that she consented to sex and therefore cannot be considered a victim.
Jay-Z’s lawyers responded by saying the allegations are baseless and without merit. They claim that the events described in the lawsuit did not occur as alleged, and that Carter has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
The case is ongoing, with both sides scheduled to present their cases in court.
