Jay-Z Asks Court to Revive Extortion Case After Accuser Recants
Original: Jay-Z Asks Court to Revive Extortion Case After Accuser Recants Rape Claim
Jay-Z has asked a court to revive his extortion case against the lawyer behind a rape lawsuit against him, after the accuser reportedly recanted her claim. The move follows the dismissal of the original rape suit, and Jay-Z argues the retraction shows the allegation was fabricated as part of an attempted shakedown. The case has drawn wide attention given the rapper's profile and the fallout over the now-withdrawn accusations.
Why now: The accuser's recantation is a major new development in a high-profile legal fight involving Jay-Z.
