Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Faces 6 New Sexual-Assault Lawsuits

NEW YORK CITY — Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose sex crimes trial is set to begin next spring, is now facing multiple sexual-assault lawsuits that date back to incidents between 1995 and 2021.

The six lawsuits were filed anonymously in Manhattan federal court, according to a New York Post report. Four of them are men and two are women.

The first incident referenced took place in 1995, where a woman was sexually assaulted by Combs at an event for Biggie Smalls’ music video “One More Chance."

Combs is accused of luring a female victim into a bathroom, where he slammed her head against a wall and raped her, according to the report.

"You better not tell anyone about this, or you will disappear,” Combs said to the woman.

One plaintiff has claimed that Combs sexually assaulted him at one of his White Parties in 1998 when he was 16, according to an NBC News report.

In 2004, two women were sexually assaulted by the music mogul after attending a photo shoot involving Combs' group Da Band, according to court filings.

Combs is accused of ordering one of the woman to perform oral sex on him, threatening he would have them both killed if they disobeyed, according to the report. He is accused of then molesting and raping the other woman.

In addition, Combs is being sued by a man who worked as a security guard at one of the music mogul's "White Party" back in 2006, according to the report. Combs is accused of lacing the man's drink and sexually assaulting him.

In another suit, an adviser for a rival clothing brand, was assaulted and forced to perform oral sex on Combs inside a Macy's stockroom back in 2008, according to the NBC News report.

In 2021, a plaintiff has accused Combs of lacing his drink at a party. Combs and three other men then allegedly proceeded to rape him.

The plaintiffs are all seeking unspecified damages.

Sex Crimes Trial Set For May 2025

Combs' sex crimes trial will begin on May 5, 2025.

Prosecutors also revealed during last week's court appearance that there could be a superseding indictment, Patch previously reported.

Combs had been placed on suicide watch as he remains detained for his upcoming sex crimes trial, Patch previously reported.

Combs was put on suicide watch as a "preventative measure" while he's held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. He is facing racketeering and sex trafficking charges following his arrest in Manhattan.

Combs was denied bail following an appeal hearing in a Manhattan court last month. Combs and his lawyers were seeking house arrest as he awaits his trial.

Sex Trafficking/Racketeering Case

In an unsealed indictment, prosecutors allege Combs created "a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in" various crimes, such as "sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice."

In addition, Combs used his businesses and employees to carry out, facilitate, and cover up his abuse and commercial sex, according to prosecutors. The employees remained 'loyal' through acts of violence and threats, prosecutors said.

He is also accused of threatening and forcing victims to perform sex acts that he would record called "freak offs", according to the indictment.

Combs would assault women by striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at and kicking them, prosecutors said.

From 2008 to the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct, Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a press conference.
