Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a new wave of legal challenges as seven new lawsuits have been filed against him, including one alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges and has been denied bail pending trial.
The lawsuits, filed by four men and three women, all anonymously, claim they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties over the last two decades. These allegations come on the heels of a previous announcement by lawyer Tony Buzbee, who stated that more than 100 accusers are planning legal action against Combs.
Combs’ legal team has expressed concerns about the “unending stream of allegations” in the press, stating that these statements could prevent a fair trial. They maintain that Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone and have full confidence in the legal process.
One of the lawsuits alleges that a 13-year-old girl was raped by Combs at a party in 2000, while another claims he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old male at a party in 2022. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits believe they were given drinks laced with drugs before the assaults.
Combs’ lawyers are planning to renew his bail application based on “significant changed circumstances,” including concerns about his conditions of confinement and new evidence. Prosecutors, however, argue that Combs used sophisticated means to silence and intimidate witnesses throughout the investigation.
The legal battle surrounding Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continues to escalate, with more accusers coming forward with allegations of sexual assault. As the case unfolds, the public and legal experts alike will be closely watching to see how the trial progresses and whether Combs will be able to secure bail pending his court date.
