Jane Doe, who accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual assault, reveals her identity
Los Angeles (The Uttam Hindu): After a judge ordered Jane Doe to reveal her identity in her sexual assault lawsuit against American rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the accuser has come forward, and revealed herself as Anna Kane, the ex-wife of Edmonton Oilers player Evander Kane.
In an amended complaint filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan on Friday, December 6, Kane used her real name, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Earlier, the U.S. District Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke ruled that she has to reveal herself in order to continue her lawsuit against the music mogul.
Kane gave a statement to ‘People’, as she said, "I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager. Defendants' demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me”.
As per ‘People’, Kane sued Combs, former Bad Boy CEO Harve Pierre and a third unknown associate for sex trafficking and gang rape when she was 17 years old in December 2023, one month after Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura filed her own bombshell sexual abuse and sex trafficking lawsuit against Combs. Diddy, 54, has denied both the allegations and reached a settlement the next day with Ventura.
In the filing, Kane claims that Pierre approached her at a Detroit-area lounge in Michigan and convinced her to take a private jet with him and a third assailant to Teterboro, NJ. Once she arrived at Daddy's House Recording Studio in Manhattan, Kane alleges she was given drugs and alcohol before being "viciously gang raped", "one after the other", the lawsuit claims.
Things took a turn when she allegedly began to slip in and out of consciousness. Kane claims the three men took turns raping her in the bathroom while she pleaded for them to stop. Eventually, she claims that she blacked out, later waking up on the floor in the fetal position and experiencing vaginal pain. After she “regained her bearings”, the lawsuit claims Kane was taken back to an airport and flown to Michigan.
Combs had denied Kane's allegations in a statement to ‘People’ shortly after the lawsuit was filed last year. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he said in a statement in 2023.
“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth”, he added.
