Afrika Bambaataa, Zulu Nation Sex Trafficking Case Still Active: John Doe Must Submit New Document for Default Judgment
Bronx-On July 11, 2022, a technicality caused Bronx Superior Court Judge Alexander Tisch to deny John Doe’s April 11th motion for a default judgment in the child sex trafficking case against Afrika Bambaataa. John Doe, the anonymous plaintiff, must submit a new document and motion for the default judgment against Bambaataa.
Bambaataa, whose real name is Lance Taylor, has not responded to the civil lawsuit that alleges the hip-hop icon charged other men cash to have sex with the plaintiff. The plaintiff, John Doe, alleges that the child sex trafficking, which has no statute of limitations in federal criminal law, started when he was 12.
As noted in court records, “defendants who do not appear are ‘deemed to have admitted all factual allegations contained in the complaint and all reasonable inferences that flow from them.’” John Doe must now submit an affidavit swearing to the facts put forth in the original complaint before he can get the default judgment.
We were the first to report the Childs Victims Act lawsuit filed against Bambaataa last August. Metropolis
