Diddy accused of 'raping 13-year-old girl with another celebrity' in bombshell new lawsuit

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a new set of civil lawsuits.

The hip-hop mogul is alleged to have attacked her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000, alongside an unnamed male celebrity. Seven new lawsuits have been filed against the 54-year-old, making it a total of 21 to have implicated Combs and involving dozens of alleged victims.

Two of the new plaintiffs are men and three are women. As well as sexual assaults, Combs is also accused of drugging the women and one man.

Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed five of the latest claims in New York, said: “We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves and will work to see that justice is done. We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”

Combs, via his attorneys, denied all of the accusations in a statement last week. His lawyers have dismissed the lawsuits as “clear attempts to garner publicity”, adding: “Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman.”

The rapper, record executive and producer is currently awaiting trial in May of next year for federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He has denied all charges and faces life in jail if convicted. The indictment implicates his various business enterprises, alleging they played a role in facilitating his abusive actions.

Prosecutors say he also engaged in kidnapping, forced labour, bribery and other crimes. They describe him as the head of a criminal enterprise, using threats of violence to force women into participating in drug-fuelled orgies.

The new lawsuits further accuse Combs of leveraging his power and influence to manipulate, intimidate and silence those around him. One lawyer recently said more than 100 clients plan to sue the musician.
