At least six new lawsuits have been filed against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, accusing him of sexual assault involving both adults and a minor. The allegations span from 1995 to 2021, detailing incidents of rape, drugging, and coercion at various parties and locations.
One of the most serious allegations involves a 16-year-old boy who claims he was assaulted at a party in 1998, where Combs allegedly referred to the act as a 'rite of passage' to becoming a star.
Combs is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, having pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
The lawsuits are part of a larger wave of litigation against Combs, with over 120 alleged victims represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, highlighting a pattern of abusive behavior over decades.
- The new lawsuits were filed anonymously in federal court in New York, with plaintiffs seeking both compensatory and punitive damages.
- The allegations against Combs have escalated following previous accusations, including a notable case involving singer Cassie, which was settled out of court.
- Federal investigations into Combs' activities have revealed extensive evidence, including the seizure of 96 electronic devices, leading to the possibility of additional charges in the future.
- Combs' legal team has expressed confidence in his innocence, stating that he has never sexually assaulted anyone, and they look forward to presenting their case in court.
