New lawsuits accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault and trafficking minors—here’s what the filings reveal.
Did New Sex Trafficking Allegations Surface Against Diddy?
Two new lawsuits filed February 14 accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, of sexual assault and trafficking.
Represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, both Jane Does detail harrowing claims—from a 2002 NYC party where a woman alleges being drugged and assaulted to a 2020 Miami warehouse party involving a then-15-year-old trafficked minor.
What Do the Lawsuits Reveal About the Alleged Incidents?
Jane Doe #1 claims Combs’ associates lured her to a 2002 Times Square after-party. After consuming pre-mixed drinks, she grew disoriented and was allegedly groped by multiple men, including Combs, in a room of “hookups.”
“They took a picture of my ID and threatened me,” her suit states, leaving lasting trauma.
Jane Doe #2, trafficked since age 12, alleges Combs paid traffickers to supply minors for a 2020 Miami “sex party.”
At 15, she claims she was forced into sex with 20 men and witnessed Combs with a girl “no older than 13.”
How Did Diddy’s Team Respond?
Combs’ lawyers dismissed the suits as “falsehoods,” citing the voluntary dismissal of a separate 2000 statutory rape case the same day: “These lawsuits are built on sensationalized lies.
We’ll fight every baseless claim.” They criticized Buzbee for chasing “media headlines over legal merit.”
Why Was the Earlier 2000 Case Dropped?
Details remain sparse, but the dismissal came without settlement. Combs’ camp framed it as vindication, though Jane Does’ attorney insists the new claims are “backed by evidence.”
Legal experts note dismissed cases don’t invalidate pending suits—but fuel PR wars.
What Support Exists for Survivors?
The National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE or online chat) offers confidential support.
RAINN’s resources underscore the gravity of these allegations, which echo broader trafficking and assault reckonings in entertainment.
