T.I. and his wife Tiny are seeking dismissal of a 2005 sexual assault lawsuit.

According to reports, an Air Force veteran who is being named Jane Doe in the lawsuit, claimed that after meeting the couple at a Los Angeles club in 2005, they drugged her, took her back to their hotel room and then raped her.

The lawsuit states that she is suing the couple for sexual assault, battery, negligence, and false imprisonment.

T.I. and Tiny previously denied those allegations. In a statement the couple says “on the heels of positivity, negativity always rears its ugly head. This plaintiff has been threatening to file this lawsuit for THREE years. For THREE years, we have emphatically and categorically denied these allegations For THREE years we have maintained our innocence and refused to pay these extortionate demands for things we didn’t do For THREE years, we’ve maintained the same position while the claims in this story have changed time and time again.”

The couple has reportedly filed a motion in the case, citing that the “statue of limitations have expired and that it should be dismissed in its entirety.”

The couple’s court documents state, “Here, at best, Plaintiff had up to December 31, 2007, to file the instant lawsuit based on the facts alleged in the Complaint…As such, this instant lawsuit, filed over sixteen years past that statutory deadline – 18 years after the facts alleged in the Complaint occurred is time-barred, along with all the claims asserted in the Complaint.”

They added, “There are no facts whatsoever that could redeem or revive any actionable claims by Plaintiff against Defendants based on the 2005 encounter alleged in the Complaint.”
