Six new lawsuits have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault, one of which involves an alleged adolescent victim
Sean Combs, a musician and producer, is the target of at least six new lawsuits filed on Monday, alleging that he has sexually assaulted men, women, and a 16-year-old child.
Plaintiffs John Doe and Jane Doe filed the lawsuits in federal court in the Southern District of New York without revealing their identities. The complaints contain a variety of charges, some of which involve drugging drinks, rape, and sexual assault. Between 1998 and 2006, at least two of the reported assaults happened at Combs’ White Parties. The six plaintiffs are requesting punitive as well as compensatory damages.
Attorney Tony Buzbee of Houston and co-counsel Andrew Van Arsdale, who previously stated they were representing at least 120 claimed victims of Combs, including kids, are likely to file a wave of lawsuits against Combs, including the most recent ones.
In a statement, Combs’ lawyers informed CNN that “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.” “The truth will be revealed in court: Mr. Combs has never sexually abused a person, adult or child, male or female.”
As he awaits his trial for his indictment in the Southern District of New York on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs is presently being held in federal detention. He entered a not guilty plea.
Combs was already the target of several civil cases filed before Monday, which accused him of a variety of crimes, including sexual misconduct. He has already refuted the claims.
