A second anonymous accuser in the sexual assault cases against Sean "Diddy" Combs may lose her anonymity following recent court developments. This comes after a federal judge ruled that the first Jane Doe must reveal her identity.

United States District Judge Vernon S. Broderick has temporarily allowed the second accuser to maintain anonymity, pending any objections from the defense. The judge noted that the decision requires balancing the plaintiff's privacy interests against public disclosure requirements and potential prejudice to the defendant.

The accuser argues that revealing her identity would:

• Force her to relive trauma
• Subject her to unwanted media attention
• Expose her to potential retaliation

Key Timeline:

• The second Doe case was filed on October 20
• The first Jane Doe must refile using her real name by November 13
• Defendants have 21 days after being served to file any opposition

These cases are part of multiple lawsuits against Combs following his arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in September. Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents both accusers, has indicated that over 120 additional lawsuits may be filed in the coming weeks.
