Report: T.I. & Tiny Offered Sexual Assault Victims Money But Got Turned Down

by HHL JT

T.I. and Tiny's lawyer has called the sexual assault charges against the celebrity couple leveled by up to 30 women a "shakedown."

Tyrone A. Blackburn, who is currently repping 11 of the women, says it's not about that at all.

In fact, Blackburn claims Tip's team reached out to him to negotiate a financial settlement -- but his clients turned it down because they want to see the couple face charges.

"[Attorney] Steve Sadow reached out to me looking to make a deal on behalf of T.I. and Tiny," Blackburn said in a statement. "And I told Steve Sadow my clients want justice. So, if the deal involves Tiny and T.I. turning themselves in and admitting to the crimes they have committed then fine we got a deal. But if it does not, then I would prefer the investigators do that work and to bring criminal charges against Tiny and T.I. for what they’ve done throughout the years."

Last week, Blackburn wrote to prosecutors in Georgia and California requesting that they bring the Harrises up on charges.

Do you think this is all a tactic for more money, or are the alleged victims of T.I. and Tiny really about justice?

We guess we'll find that out in the future.
