A second Jane Doe accuser in the sexual assault case 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 outlined that maintaining anonymity requires balancing the plaintiff's privacy interests against public disclosure interests and potential defendant prejudice.

The second Doe, who filed on October 20, alleges she was drugged and raped by Combs. She argues that revealing her identity could:

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

The court has temporarily granted anonymity pending the defendants' appearance. Key deadlines include:

• Plaintiff must indicate intention to renew motion within 7 days of defendants' appearance
• Defendants have 21 days after being served to file any opposition

These cases are among dozens filed against Combs since his September arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing both Does, has indicated that over 120 additional lawsuits may be forthcoming.

The first Jane Doe must refile under her real name by November 13, as ordered by Federal Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, who rejected arguments about potential retaliation given Combs's current detention.
