TI and his wife, Tiny Harris, have been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting three more women, adding to the rapidly growing list of accusers.
The three new accusers have hired attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, who is representing several other women who say the 40-year-old rapper and his songwriter and wife have sexually assaulted them, Page Six reported on Friday.
Blackburn said he was ‘talking to investigators from various jurisdictions to pursue criminal charges’ against the celebrity couple.

A lawyer spokesman said one of the alleged victims said the husband-and-wife couple ‘pulled out a pill and forced her to swallow it’ when they met at a Miami nightclub in 2010.
According to the woman, the group moved to a hotel in South Beach, where a security guard of the couple forced her to hand over her cell phone.
Blackburn’s spokesman said the woman claimed that TI then ‘forced her to take a powdery substance off her finger’.
The woman also said that ‘[Tiny] undressed her and started having sex.
“She said her body was numb, the room was getting slower and she couldn’t consent,” added the spokesman.

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 ‘drugging and raping her’ in a Miami hotel room during Memorial Day weekend in 2010.
A third new accuser claimed that she was taken across state borders for sexual purposes by the rapper, which could potentially be a federal crime.
She said she was ‘drugged … and trafficked for sex in Nevada, California and Florida’.
Blackburn’s spokesman said his clients had made ‘a myriad of allegations of forced drugs, kidnapping, rape and intimidation’, although he is not representing all the women who shared charges of sexual assault against TI and Tiny with him.
A lawyer representing TI and Tiny denied the women’s claims in March, calling them ‘extortion’.
The position of ‘my clients’ remains the same. We are still waiting for the anonymous accusers to reveal themselves to the public and to the Harris. Their continued reluctance and refusal to do so undermines and weakens each of the allegations made, ‘he said.

Six more women, including a military man and a stripper, joined the group of accusers in early March.
The couple has been fighting women, who say they have been drugged, kidnapped and forced to have sex with the couple or someone in their circle. TI and Tiny denied these charges and claims by three men who also claim the couple made ‘terrorist threats’ against them.
On March 8, the Daily Beast revealed that the lawyer represented those eight women and three men who had heard of six additional accusers.
They included a stripper, a military man and a high school student who was once an intern 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 have been filed against the pair.

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

– If I were a prosecutor, I would have already filed the charges.
“These women are unaware of each other and, without any guidance from me, they report frighteningly similar events of sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terrorist threats and private imprisonment,” says the Blackburn letter.
“He concludes by pleading with the police to ‘fight and end the depravity that is being committed’ by the celebrity couple,” he told the Beast on Monday.
‘These women came forward because there is a void that has been left in their lives and the people who created that void are Clifford and Tameka Harris.
“It is true that the void can never be completely filled, but at least it can be restored if these cases are handled carefully, investigated thoroughly, the charges executed and the Harris prosecuted,” he said, adding that women are not looking for money.
The charges include complaints from 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 the IT tour bus, when she says his wife gave him a drink and two pills that made her ‘hot and sweaty … [and she] he started to hallucinate and looked like he was floating. ‘
She claims that Tiny took her to the back of the tour bus to ‘calm down’ and that TI came next and started commenting on her appearance.
She says she then passed out and woke up ‘naked in a bed … bleeding from her vagina. She also felt discomfort in the anus.
The next day, she says she was taken home by one of the couple’s employees who said ‘she needs to learn to keep her mouth shut’ and ‘if she didn’t, bad things could happen to her and her family.’
She says she started to lose control of her intestines while sleeping and was taken to the hospital, where she was told she had ‘suffered trauma to her anal cavity due to intense anal penetration’.
The military man said he was 22 in 2005 when he met the duo at a club in Los Angeles.
She described going back to a hotel with them, but said she started to feel ‘dizzy and light-headed’ after taking just a sip of Tiny’s drink.
She claims that three of them got into the shower where Tiny bathed her and TI. Afterwards, she said that Tiny tried to give her a ‘buttock massage’.
The woman, who was in the United States Air Force, said TI told her that she wanted to put her foot in her vagina.
The woman said no, but then apparently passed out and woke up ‘with a very sore vagina and a towel covering it’.
Steve Sadow, the pair’s lawyer, told DailyMail.com on Monday: ‘The Harris continue to deny these unfounded and unjustified allegations in the strongest possible terms.
“When Blackburn finally exposes his anonymous accusers to daylight, revealing their names, we will be in a position to confront his allegations. Hiding your identities makes it impossible for me to do that now.
“We fully hope that if the complaints are investigated fairly, no charges will be filed.”

The couple has already sparked controversy when TI admitted to going to the gynecologist with his teenage daughter to ensure she was still a virgin.
– We didn’t just talk. We make annual trips to the gynecologist to check his hymen.
“Then we will sit down and the doctor will come and talk, and the doctor will maintain a high level of professionalism.
‘He’s like,’ Well, you know, sir, I have to in order to share information ‘- and I,’ Deyjah, they want you to sign this, so that we can share information. Is there anything you would not like me to know? Ah ok. See, doctor? No problem, ”he said during a podcast interview.
