Woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 to keep her ID secret: New York judge

A New York judge has opted to keep secret the identity of the woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 more than two decades ago, after the rap mogul’s lawyer pushed for her name to be revealed.

Judge Analisa Torres reprimanded rapper Alex Spiro’s attorney for being combative and trying to “speed up” the court process after filing a request to deny the alleged victim’s request to remain anonymous.

“Carter’s attorney’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” Torres said in his filing Thursday.

“The Court will not expedite the judicial process simply because the lawyer demands it.”
