Judge Orders Accuser's Identity Disclosure in Combs Case

A federal judge has ruled that a woman accusing Sean 'Diddy' Combs of raping her when she was 19 must publicly reveal her identity to proceed with her lawsuit. This ruling is part of a broader legal battle with over 100 accusers reportedly planning to file suits against Combs, who is currently in federal detention for sex trafficking charges. Combs has denied all allegations and maintains his innocence. The judge emphasized the need for transparency in judicial proceedings, asserting that Combs has the right to defend himself, including investigating the claims made against him. The decision could impact other cases filed by anonymous plaintiffs against Combs. The accuser has until November 13 to refile her lawsuit under her real name or face dismissal of her case.
