Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

he's undoubtedly guilty, but it's been 20 years - why didnt she come forward earlier? the statute of limitations has probably lapsed
This is probably related to NY recently changing their rules regarding civil suits for sexual assault. The same change that prompted the Trump case.
I'm sure for a 17 year old in 2003, going after someone so wealthy and powerful seemed insurmountable. But the rule change seems to be allowing some victims to finally get some form of resitution.
Can you elaborate on what this rule change is or give me some information to research and learn more?
It's called the New York’s Adult Survivors Act. Here's an article about it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2023/11/24/adult-survivors-act-diddy-jamie-foxx-sexual-assault-new-york/71693294007/
Wow, thanks for sharing this.
I had no idea they had a '1 year window' to report claims. That's fucked up and I'm genuinely curious what talks went on to get something like that passed.
I think it's because the laws have changed in the meantime, but they wanted to give survivors of older cases a chance to still get some justice.
He tried to kill Kid Cudi by blowing up his car, I imagine a 17 year old was (correctly) pretty scared of what a man in his position could do

…wow
Fear or shame, probably.
Didn't some law or something come in where cases like these can still be heard in court? I'm pretty sure that's why we're seeing an influx of these articles.
Rape and murder have no statue of limitations I thought.
NM has a 7 year statute of limitations on murder. Rape has similar in many places.
Welp that's sad and disappointing.
Did a quick Google and it looks like while there is a statue it was extended in 2019 to 20 years for second degree and 10 for third degree, with no limits in incest and first degree. It was 5yrs for second and third which was wildly inadequate imo.

That seems insanely short. But given the history the mafia had in that state it shouldn’t surprise me
I was not aware we had a history of mafia here.
Shit that’s on me, too high and thought it said NV
Don't worry, every state has had some kind of "mafia."
The Amish, the Russian, the Redneck, somewhere, in some investigative report on organized crime, some journalist got your back.
That's it? Jeez.
It appears that it may have changed. My childhood best friend was murdered in 2007, but there was not enough evidence to prosecute the suspect at the time. Last I heard there was more evidence now.
