CNN - Jay-Z's attorney speaks out for the first time since star's legal woes
Jay-Z's attorney, Alex Spiro, has publicly denied allegations that Jay-Z raped a 13-year-old girl at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Spiro presented evidence, including photos, to show Jay-Z was at a different location in New York City during the alleged incident. He emphasized inconsistencies in the accuser's story, such as the timeline and location details. The accuser's attorney, Tony Buzbee, maintains the claim, stating they have vetted the accuser's story through interviews and background checks. Buzbee represents over 120 accusers against Sean Diddy Combs, with this being the first case involving Jay-Z.
