Sexual Assault Case Against T.I. And Tiny Dismissed In Los Angeles
T.I. and Tiny won’t be charged for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2005 in Los Angeles.
According to reports, prosecutors decided to not move forward with the case, because it falls outside the statute of limitations. In the court documents, prosecutors say the 10-year statute of limitations has expired.
“Mr. and Mrs. Harris are pleased, but not surprised, by the district attorney’s decision to dismiss these meritless allegations,” their attorney said in a statement Thursday. “We appreciate the DA’s careful review of the case and are grateful to be able to put the matter behind us and move on.”
Earlier this year, a woman claimed the hip hop couple drugged and assaulted her after meeting at a Los Angeles club.
This ruling had the same outcome as the Las Vegas case. An accuser claimed the T.I. and Tiny assaulted her in 2010. The statute of limitations expired there as well.
The couple still faces accusations from multiple other women who allege they used their fame and influence to coerce and sexually assault women.
Both T.I. and Tiny are known for their contributions to the Atlanta recording scene and 2000s hip hop. A three-time Grammy winner, T.I. married Xscape singer Tiny in 2010. The couple are parents to seven children together, three from their own marriage.
The entire family stars in T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, a reality television series on VH1. The show paused filming its fourth season after the allegations broke, in an effort to gather “more information.”
