00:00Jay-Z's requests to dismiss his case as well as to reveal his accuser have been denied.
00:05We have the story.
00:06The woman who accused Jay-Z and Sean Diddy Combs of drugging and raping her at 13 years
00:11old following an MTV VMA afterparty in 2000 can remain anonymous for now.
00:16The judge cited the highly sensitive nature of her accusations and the Jane Doe's assertion
00:21that she continues to suffer from depression due to the alleged rape, as well as a claim
00:25by the woman's attorneys that Diddy has threatened other alleged victims.
00:29The judge plans to revisit the question of anonymity at a later date.
00:33Also in the ruling, the judge turned down a request by Jay-Z's legal team to fast-track
00:38a hearing on their motion to dismiss the case against him.
00:41The motion to expedite the hearing was tied to a December 13th NBC News interview in which
00:46the Jane Doe admitted to inconsistencies and mistakes in her narrative of the alleged assault
00:51and was contradicted by her own father.
00:53The order read,
00:54The court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.
00:59Jay-Z has vigorously denied all accusations.
