Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations of rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault after a series of fresh lawsuits were filed recently. At least six lawsuits were filed in New York federal court by two women and four men, including allegations that span from 1995 to 2021.
The unnamed accusers allege some of the assaults happened at Combs’ parties, which were attended by major celebrities and music artists. The musician’s lawyers, however, denied the allegations, saying in a statement to the BBC that he “has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman”.
Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York since his 16 September arrest. His lawyers have argued for his release until the trial, citing the jail’s “horrific” conditions. However, a New York federal judge denied their request for bail, arguing that Combs was a “serious flight risk”.
