Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Brothers Accused of Sexual Assault
Briefly

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by Angelica Parker against the Alexander brothers, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations for sexual assault claims in New York. Judge Kaplan ruled that Parker's filing during a specific New York City window did not meet the requirements of a state extension, which necessitated filing by the end of 2023. This ruling represents a minor victory for the Alexander brothers, who face multiple sexual assault allegations and are currently in custody. Despite the decision, Parker's attorney expressed determination to continue pursuing justice.
