120 New Sexual Assault Charges Filed Against Sean “Diddy” Combs
Over the past few weeks, we’ve published an article or two about American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles. As it turns out, we haven’t seen the worst of it.
On October 1, Tuesday, attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he was working on behalf of 120 individuals who reported disturbing sexual conduct against the 54-year-old. According to the prosecutor, some of these incidents occurred over 20 years ago. These allegations include claims of violent sexual assault, the involvement of controlled substances, and even minors being exploited.
During last Tuesday’s press conference, he declared, “We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”
Buzbee described the case as a web of “many powerful people” and their “dirty secrets.” The high-profile attorney said that more than 3,000 people have come forward with information. The evidence Buzbee’s team claims to have gathered—ranging from videos and texts to photographs—promises to be explosive.
He noted that the accusers span 25 states, with many identifying as African American. Disturbingly, 25 of these individuals were minors at the time of the alleged assaults which go as far back as 1991.
While Combs’ legal team has labeled the allegations as part of a “reckless media circus,” the star’s public image continues to take hit after hit. His lawyer, Erica Wolff, responded forcefully, stating that Combs “emphatically and categorically denies” all accusations, including those involving minors. Wolff further added that Combs is prepared to clear his name in court when the evidence, rather than speculation, will determine the truth.
This isn’t the first time Combs has faced serious accusations. His legal troubles began last year when his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, filed a civil suit accusing him of assault and sex trafficking during their tumultuous relationship. Though that case was swiftly settled for an undisclosed amount, the scandal worsened when surveillance footage surfaced showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway, leading him to issue a public apology.
Combs now faces lawsuits from multiple individuals, including Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, who alleges that Combs assaulted, imprisoned, and threatened her life. Despite these mounting legal issues, Combs has consistently denied all allegations, referring to them as attempts to “cash in” on his fame.
With Buzbee planning to file lawsuits across several states in the coming months, and with Combs currently detained in Brooklyn facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, the drama surrounding the music mogul doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Buzbee ominously hinted that “these names will shock you,” leaving the public eagerly awaiting more revelations as the case unfolds. Combs remains defiant, maintaining his innocence and gearing up for what promises to be a legal battle of epic proportions.
