Diddy Lawyers Add Oren Alexander Case as Judge Dismisses Combs Suit

A Manhattan judge on 27 August dismissed a sexual-battery lawsuit that accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and assaulting a 23-year-old man at a 2015 after-party, ruling the claims were filed well past the applicable statutes of limitation under both New York and California law. The decision follows the court’s earlier rejection of a separate $60 million suit and adds to Combs’s run of legal victories after his partial acquittal in a criminal racketeering and sex-trafficking trial last month. The same day, Combs’s trial lawyers, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, informed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that they have been retained by Miami real-estate executive Oren Alexander, who faces federal sex-trafficking charges. In a filing, the pair said they will move to exclude the government’s proposed rape-trauma-syndrome expert and asked Judge Valerie Caproni for an additional two weeks to disclose their own experts ahead of a 2026 trial. Separately, Agnifilo was engaged to defend Stephanie Gonzalez, one of two women charged with assault as a hate crime for tearing down hostage posters and allegedly attacking a woman on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in November 2023. A New York state judge set Gonzalez’s trial for 14 October after prosecutors offered a misdemeanor plea contingent on a bias-counseling program, which the defendants declined. The fresh engagements underscore how the legal team that guided Combs through his recent courtroom battles is parlaying that high-profile experience into a growing roster of contentious cases spanning federal sex-trafficking allegations and hate-crime prosecutions.
