Music star, Sean Combs popularly known as ’Diddy’ who was previously arrested and arraigned in court for sexual assault and domestic violence is facing a new batch of lawsuits including one that alleges that he molested a minor, the legal team behind the filings announced on Monday.
The federal civil complaints filed in Manhattan were filed anonymously, two by women named as Jane Does and four by men identified as John Does.
The allegations in them against the now-54-year-old rapper known as “Diddy” span from 1995 until 2021, lawyers said.
They are part of a massive wave of suits promised by lawyers including Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who said earlier this month that more than 100 alleged victims were planning legal action against Combs, who was arrested on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges last month.
In the new suits, one accuser says Combs sexually assaulted him when he was 16, fondling his genitals in 1998 in the Hamptons just outside of New York City, at one of Combs’s infamous white parties.
At the time, Combs had insisted to the teenage boy that allowing such behaviour was part of what it took to break into the music world, allegedly asking him: “Don’t you want to break into the business?”
After his arrest, Judges have denied him bail, as prosecutors voice concerns of witness tampering. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His criminal trial is currently slated to begin May 5, 2025.
More details soon…
