A group of over 100 women and men are preparing to make fresh allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs in a series of incoming civil lawsuits.
During a press conference held on Tuesday, October 1, Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee and attorneys from AVA Law Group in San Diego announced their plans to represent at least 120 clients who claimed to be victims of Combs and his associates. The new round of allegations will reportedly involve claims of "violent sexual assault or rape, sexual abuse, facilitating sex with controlled subtance, false imprisonment, compelling prostitution, sexual misconduct, dissemination of video recordings and sexual abuse of minors" per CNN.
Buzbee said that the group of alleged victims includes 60 men and 60 women. Of the 120 people, 25 were minors when the alleged abuse occurred. The incidents reportedly happened during parties and music-related auditions in Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Buzbee's firm plans to file the civil lawsuits within the next 30 days after they carefully vet each case.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus," Combs' attorney Erica Wolff told CNN. "That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors."
Combs was recently indicted on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting prostitutes. He was arrested and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Combs' legal team recently appealed his recent bond ruling after he was denied twice. He's currently being held at a jail in Brooklyn, New York.
