(The Post News)- Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old youngster in 2005. The new lawsuit adds to over two dozen others accusing the US music mogul of sexual misconduct.
The latest complaints have been sent by well-known Houston attorney Tony Buzbee and his California colleague, Andrew Van Arsdale. These filings add to a series of lawsuits originating from a group of over 120 carefully selected clients. The lawyers had filed thirteen lawsuits against Combs on October 14. Twenty people have come forward, with many claiming they were quietly drugged, compelled into sexual acts against their will, and pressured to remain silent. According to the second claim, the imprisoned hip-hop entrepreneur assaulted a 17-year-old potential contestant on the reality TV show Making the Band in 2008 in a similar manner.
Combs’ attorneys accused Anthony Buzbee, the plaintiffs’ attorney who also represents accusers in previous cases, of seeking notoriety when they rejected the two additional allegations on Monday, claiming that the lawyer behind the claims is only concerned with public attention and not the “truth.” He further underlined his client’s innocence, claiming that the facts will hold up in court: Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone, young or old, male or female.
According to the lawsuit claims, an aspiring rapper and actor, the 10-year-old youngster who was not named in the lawsuit, had gone with his parents from California to meet with representatives of the music industry. The lawsuit further stated that the youngstar was sexually molested by the founder of Bad Boy Records and given a drug-laced beverage by a Combs associate at what was allegedly an audition for Combs, the lawsuit claims.
After a while, the boy passed out. According to the document, Combs threatened to seriously harm the child’s parents if he informed anybody what had happened when he woke up. In a second lawsuit, an unnamed male 17-year-old claimed that Combs coerced him into engaging in sexual actions with Combs and a bodyguard during a three-day tryout for Combs’s produced television program, Making the Band. In federal court in Manhattan, Combs, 54, has also entered a not guilty plea to criminal sex trafficking allegations. He faces criminal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
