A federal judge has dismissed most of the lawsuit filed by singer Dawn Richard against Sean Combs because the legal time limit for filing the claims had already passed.

一名聯邦法官駁回了歌手 Dawn Richard 對 Sean Combs 提出的多數訴訟，因為提出指控的法律期限已過。

Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the U.S. District Court decided that most of the claims—including allegations of physical assault and unlawful imprisonment—were too old to be heard in court. The judge stated that the alleged behavior ended by 2012, meaning the legal window for filing these claims closed long before the lawsuit was filed in September 2024. Although the judge described the alleged actions as 'terrible,' she ruled that the law could no longer be used to pursue these specific charges.

美國地區法院的 Katherine Polk Failla 法官認定，大部分指控——包括身體攻擊和非法監禁——因時間過久而無法在法院審理。法官指出，涉嫌行為在 2012 年就已結束，這意味著在 2024 年 9 月提起訴訟之前，提出這些指控的法律期限早已過期。儘管法官將涉嫌行為描述為「可怕」，但她裁定法律已無法再用於追究這些特定指控。

However, the court dismissed one specific claim regarding the New York Gender-Motivated Violence Act without prejudice. This means Ms. Richard can potentially file this specific claim again in a state court. This is possible because of a 2022 law that created a special 'lookback window' to help survivors of sexual and domestic violence seek justice. Ms. Richard's lawyers have confirmed that they plan to pursue this remaining legal option.

然而，法院在不影響權利的情況下，駁回了一項關於《紐約州性別動機暴力法》的特定指控。這意味著 Richard 女士有可能在州法院重新提起這項指控。這得益於 2022 年的一項法律，該法律創建了一個特殊的「追溯期」，以幫助性暴力和家庭暴力的倖存者尋求正義。Richard 女士的律師已確認，他們計劃採取這一剩餘的法律選項。

These accusations relate to Ms. Richard's time with the groups Danity Kane and Diddy — Dirty Money. She alleged a toxic work environment involving psychological manipulation and financial issues. In contrast, Mr. Combs' representative claimed that these stories are false and were created only to make money. The defense emphasized that Ms. Richard continued to work with Mr. Combs as recently as 2023, which they argue proves the claims are inconsistent. This case happens while Mr. Combs is serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related crimes.

這些指控與 Richard 女士在 Danity Kane 及 Diddy — Dirty Money 組合中的經歷有關。她指控工作環境惡劣，涉及心理操縱和財務問題。相反，Combs 先生的代表聲稱這些故事是虛構的，僅僅是為了獲利。辯方強調，Richard 女士直到 2023 年仍與 Combs 先生合作，他們認為這證明指控並不一致。此案發生在 Combs 先生因與賣淫相關的罪行被判處 50 個月刑期期間。

While most of the lawsuit was dismissed due to legal deadlines, one claim remains and may be fought in state court under a specific violence act.

雖然大部分訴訟因法律期限而被駁回，但仍有一項指控有效，並可能根據特定的暴力法在州法院進行訴訟。
