Diddy faces more than 100 new sexual assault lawsuits, criminal charges possible

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee announced that “well over” 100 alleged victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs will file a lawsuit accusing him of rape, sexual assault and sexual exploitation.

Buzbee will provide details about the claims at a press conference at 1 p.m. CST on Tuesday (October 1), according to FOX 26 Houston. The lawyer will share some of the alleged victim’s accounts and details of the lawsuits and any other alleged perpetrators.

“This is an important matter that we want to pursue aggressively,” Buzbee said. “We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, including any person or entity that participated in or benefited from this egregious conduct.”

The attorney also shared a Sexual Assault Hotline number, 1-800-200-7474, asking victims and witnesses to come forward.

Last week, Buzbee revealed he was representing more than 50 individuals, but expected that number to grow. Fox5 News New York reports that the incarcerated hip-hop mogul could also face new criminal charges.

Alleged victim claims she was drugged and assaulted by Diddy and another man

The alleged victims include men and women, including a woman who claims Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her at a party in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2018.

“She was given a drink that we believe is now spiked because she said she started feeling dizzy,” Ariel Mitchell, the woman’s attorney, told the outlet. “And then Mr. Combs sexually assaulted her, first with an inanimate object and then having a man come and attack my client.”

The woman managed to escape and received help from a neighbor before reporting the incident to the police. “She called the police because she had a harrowing escape,” Mitchell explained.

Diddy remains in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York as he awaits trial on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.

Bail has been denied twice, despite his requests for release on a $50 million bond. However, according to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Diddy’s legal team filed an appeal against his bail on Monday (September 30).

In a new documentary, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, confirmed that Diddy will not take a plea deal and said he is trying to get his client in court “as quickly as possible.”

He added: “He is so focused on righting this injustice that it actually gives him a form of strength and a form of confidence that I think will help him get through this difficult period.”
