The couple, facing accusations from a woman identified as Jane Doe, asserts their innocence, stating they’ve resisted extortionate demands for three years.

Threats and Denials
T.I. and Tiny responded to the claims, highlighting the plaintiff’s three-year-long threat to file the lawsuit, maintaining their consistent denial of the allegations.
The couple refuses to succumb to what they label as “fake claims” and emphasizes their anticipation for a fair day in court.
Despite facing LAPD investigation in 2021 and a judge’s dismissal citing statute of limitations, the couple faces renewed accusations under California’s unique legal framework.
Legal Intricacies
The lawsuit, filed on Jan. 2, may face challenges as it was lodged after the window under California’s Sexual Abuse Act closed on Dec. 31.
The legal intricacies involve the act’s applicability to cases filed post the deadline, raising uncertainties about the lawsuit’s consideration.
Previous investigations in 2021 provide a backdrop, with a judge’s dismissal due to statute limitations but uncertainties about the connection to the recent accusations.
