Jay-Z is being sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a celebrity after-party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. According to the lawsuit, the incident took place on September 7, 2000, at a private party in New York City. The accuser, referred to as Jane Doe, claims she was asked to sign an NDA, given a drink that made her woozy, and then raped by Jay-Z and Diddy, with an unnamed female celebrity (referred to as Celebrity B) watching. The lawsuit was originally filed against Diddy in October, but Jay-Z was added as a defendant on Sunday.
Jay-Z called the lawsuit a blackmail attempt and slammed the lawyer, Tony Busby, who sent him a demand letter. In his statement, Jay-Z said the lawyer's tactics had the opposite effect and made him want to expose the lawyer for fraud. He challenged the accuser to file a criminal charge, stating that anyone who would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away. Jay-Z also expressed heartbreak for his family, especially his children, and criticized the lawyer for trying to exploit the situation.

These actions raised red flags, leading to an active investigation by the Ogden, Utah Police Department.
On December 4th, a 56-year-old man named Glenn Linton opened fire at Feather River Adventist School in Northern California, shooting two students, a six-year-old and a five-year-old, before taking his own life. Glenn had taken an Uber to the school and met with the principal under the pretense of enrolling his grandson, but it was a ruse to gain access. Glenn had a history of mental health issues and criminal charges, including identity theft and burglary. Police found evidence that he planned the attack, targeting the school because it was religious and in response to the U.S.'s involvement in the Middle East.
