More than 100 alleged victims to sue Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for sexual assault and exploitation
Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a wave of legal action as over 100 individuals, including minors, prepare to sue him for alleged sexual assault, rape, and exploitation.
High-profile attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the claimants, revealed that some of the accusations involve abuse of children as young as nine.
Speaking at a press conference, Buzbee stated that his legal team is thoroughly investigating all individuals and entities connected to the alleged misconduct.
“We will leave no stone unturned,” Buzbee declared, promising to hold anyone accountable who participated in or benefited from the abuse.
Combs has denied the allegations through his lawyer, Erica Wolff, who described the claims as “false and defamatory,” adding that the musician is confident in proving his innocence in court.
The allegations span from 1991 to this year, with incidents reportedly taking place across multiple locations, including New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.
Many victims allege they were assaulted at parties hosted by Combs, often under the guise of industry events like album launches and holiday celebrations. Some claim they were drugged before being sexually assaulted.
Combs, already under scrutiny due to recent criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, is currently in federal custody, having been denied bail.
Buzbee, who is representing 120 alleged victims, disclosed that 25 of them were minors at the time of the abuse. He also indicated that his firm is vetting another 100 potential cases.
This marks the first time Combs has been accused of child sexual abuse, adding another layer of seriousness to the mounting legal troubles surrounding the music mogul.
