TI and his wife, Tiny Harris, were accused of drugging and sexually assaulting three other women, adding to a rapidly growing list of accusers.
The three latest accusers detained lawyer Tyrone A. Blackburn, who represents several other women who claim that the 40-year-old rapper and his wife of 45-year-old singer-songwriter sexually assaulted them, reported Friday Page Six.
Blackburn said he was “talking to investigators in several jurisdictions to pursue criminal charges” against the star couple.

A lawyer’s spokesman says one of the alleged victims said the husband and wife duo “took out a pill and forced her to swallow it” when they met at a nightclub in Miami in 2010.
According to the woman, their party moved to a hotel in South Beach, where a guard of the couple forced her to give up her mobile phone.
A Blackburn spokesman said the woman claimed that TI “forced her to take a powdery substance from her finger”.
The woman also said that “[Tiny] he undressed her and began having sex.
“She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down and she could not consent,” the spokesman added.

Her story is similar to that of several other women who accused TI and Tiny of rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Another of the new accusers accused TI and one of his male friends of “drugs and rape” in a hotel room in Miami on Memorial Day weekend in 2010.
A third new accuser claimed that the rapper was taken across state lines for sexual purposes, which could be a federal crime.
She said she was “drugged” and sexually trafficked in Nevada, California and Florida.
Blackburn’s spokesman said his clients had made “a lot of allegations of forced drugs, kidnappings, rape and intimidation,” although he did not represent all the women who shared sexual assault charges against TI and Tiny.
A lawyer representing TI and Tiny rejected the women’s claims in March, calling them a “shakedown.”
“The position of my clients remains the same. We are still waiting for the anonymous accusers to reveal themselves to the public and the Harrises. Their continued refusal and refusal to do so compromises and undermines every accusation made, “he said.

Six other women, including a member of the army and a stripper, had previously joined the group of accusers in early March.
The couple pushes back against the women, who say they were drugged, kidnapped and forced to have sex with their partner or someone in their circle. TI and Tiny denied these allegations and the claims of three men who also say the couple made “terrorist threats” against them.
On March 8, The Daily Beast revealed that the lawyer representing those eight women and three men who learned from six additional accusers.
Among them were a stripper, an army member and a high school student who was once hospitalized at one of the rapper’s studios.
The women claimed that TI and Tiny (whose real names are Clifford and Tameka) or someone in their circle raped them and then sexually abused them. No criminal charges were brought against the couple.

The claims started in January on social networks. Several women claimed that they were abused by the couple in some way, which led them to reject the allegations in a statement.
Then Blackburn approached some women to hear their stories. He then went to the authorities in Georgia and California, asking them to launch an investigation.
At the time, he said he had claims from 11 different people; the original of eight women and three men.
Blackburn later said he heard from six other women who have similar allegations.
He wrote again to authorities in Georgia and California, calling for a criminal investigation.

“If I were a prosecutor, I would have already brought charges.
“These women do not know each other and, without leading from me, report similar incidents of sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnappings, terrorist threats and false imprisonment,” the letter from Blackburn reads.
“It concludes by begging law enforcement officials to ‘address and end the current depravity’ committed by the star couple,” Beast said Monday.
“These women showed up because there was a gap left in their lives, and the people who created the gap are Clifford and Tameka Harris.
“Of course, the gap can never be completely filled, but at least it can be shared if these cases are handled with care, thoroughly investigated, the charges are executed and Harrise is prosecuted,” he said, adding that women are not looking. money.
Their allegations include claims of a 22-year-old girl who once worked as an intern at one of the rapper’s studios when she was in high school.

She described an alleged incident when she was 17 and working for the couple on TI’s tour bus, claiming that his wife gave him a drink and two pills that made her “hot and sweaty … [and she] he started hallucinating and I felt him floating.
She claims that Tiny took her behind the tourist bus to “cool off” and that TI then came and started commenting on her appearance.
She says she turned black and woke up “naked on a bed” bleeding from her vagina. He also felt discomfort in her anus.
The next day, she claims she was taken home by one of the couple’s employees who said “she has to learn to keep her mouth shut” and “if she didn’t, bad things could happen to her and her family.” ”.
She claims that she began to lose control of her intestines in her sleep and was taken to the hospital, where she was told that she had suffered “trauma to her anal cavity due to intense anal penetration”.

She described returning to a hotel, but said she began to feel “dizzy and light” after just taking a sip of Tiny’s drink.
She claims that three of them went into the shower, where Tiny washed her and TI. After that, he said that Tiny tried to give him a “back massage”.
The woman, who was in the US Air Force, said that TI told her then that she wanted to put her foot in her vagina.
The woman said no, but apparently she went out and woke up “with a very painful vagina and a towel covering her.”
Steve Sadow, a lawyer for the couple, told DailyMail.com on Monday: “Harrises continues to deny these unfounded and unjustified allegations in the strongest possible terms.
“When Blackburn finally exposes his anonymous accusers to the light of day, revealing their names, we will be able to face his accusations. Hiding their identity makes it impossible for me to do that now.
“We fully expect that if the claims are investigated fairly, no charges will be brought.”

The previous couple sparked controversy when TI admitted that he went to the gynecologist with his teenage daughter to make sure she was still a virgin.
“It simply came to our notice then. We have annual trips to the gynecologist to check his hymen.
“So we will go and sit down and the doctor will come to speak, and the doctor will maintain a high level of professionalism.
“He says, ‘Well, you know, sir, I have to share information.'” I say, “Deyjah, they want you to sign this so we can share information.” Is it something you wouldn’t want me to know? Oh well. See, doctor? It’s not a problem, “he said during a podcast interview.
