Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a then-13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge, who also granted the “Jane Doe” accuser the ability to proceed anonymously, despite efforts from the rap mogul’s legal team to have her reveal her identity publicly.

Z" Carter of raping her after an awards show in 2000 when she was 13 can remain anonymous as her lawsuit proceeds, a federal judge has ruled. The woman's lawsuit was initially filed in October -- one of a number of anonymous civil complaints filed by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee against Combs.
