The Houston lawyer told reporters that 25 of his 120 new clients were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct, and one was apparently 9 years old at the time of the abuse.

“This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should never have gone on for so long. This behavior has left a mass of individuals injured, scared and scarred,” said Tony.

In some incidents, the misconduct allegedly occurred during auditions.

“Often, especially young people, people who wanted to break into the industry were coerced into this type of behavior on the promise of becoming a star,” Tony said.

He also said most of the alleged victims he represents are from California, New York, Georgia and Florida.

The accused Grammy winner, who is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, reacted to the news that 120 people accused him of sexual misconduct.

“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every baseless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” his attorney, Erica Wolff, said in a statement to the media.

The lawyer said the Last night rapper looks forward to “proving his innocence and defending himself” in court.

“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors, as false and defamatory,” the attorney representing the rap mogul said.
