Sean Combs has been charged with sexually assaulting the 10-year-old singer

Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit with a new disturbing lawsuit on Monday he is in a federal prison in Brooklyn awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. The new accuser says he was a 10-year-old aspiring rapper when Combs allegedly drugged and raped him in a New York City hotel during an alleged audition in 2005.

The new complaint was filed by prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee and his California counterpart, Andrew Van Arsdale, as the latest in a barrage of lawsuits from anonymous plaintiffs who allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs. Many of the accusers have alleged that they were covertly drugged, coerced into sexual acts without consent and threatened into silence.

In the new lawsuit filed in New York District Court in Manhattan, John Doe says his parents accompanied him to Manhattan to meet with music industry executives, including Combs, to advance his career. He says a counselor hired by his parents took him to a hotel room and then left him with Combs. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff was given a soft drink that he believes was laced with drugs.

“After the plaintiff consumed his soda and began to feel its effects, Combs told the plaintiff to move closer to him, which the plaintiff did. Combs then abruptly pushed the plaintiff down and said words to the effect of, “Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do,” according to the lawsuit. “After pushing the plaintiff down, Combs pulled his penis out of his pants and told the 10-year-old plaintiff to ‘kiss’ him. When the plaintiff resisted, Combs nevertheless forced his penis into the plaintiff’s mouth and then thrust it in and out repeatedly.” The accuser claims he “froze in fear,” lost consciousness and later woke up with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks. (A representative for Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

The new accuser claims his parents later noticed something was wrong. He says he told them what allegedly happened and that they were “terrified of the possible consequences of reporting the abuse.” He claimed he suffered from severe depression and anxiety and had to be home-schooled after the alleged incident.

Buzbee previously filed 13 lawsuits against Combs in two waves October 14 And October 20but Combs’ current legal troubles date back to last November, when his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, sued her rape and sex trafficking lawsuit against him. Combs are arranged by Ventura within 24 hours. In her disturbing complaint, Ventura accused Combs of repeated physical violence and forced her to participate in highly choreographed, drug-fueled sexual encounters called “freak offs.”

A week after Ventura’s lawsuit made global headlines, two more women came forward with rape claims. Several others filed similar lawsuits in the months that followed, leading to a parallel criminal investigation Combs’ indictment last month by a grand jury. The controversial music mogul, 54, has pleaded not guilty. His trial will start next May.

On Friday, the judge overseeing Combs’ criminal case issued an order saying he expects all parties to follow the rules of evidence and keep sensitive, non-public information about Combs’ criminal case secret ahead of the trial. Judge Arun Subramanian of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York issued his directive after Combs’ lawyers accused federal officials of leaking information to the media.

“For the avoidance of doubt, this order is not based on a finding that there has been any misconduct to date, as the court has not made any findings at this time regarding the defendant’s allegations that information relating to the case has been leaked,” said the judge. wrote. “The purpose of this order is to ensure that nothing happens from now on that could prevent a fair trial.”

If convicted as charged, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life behind bars. In a statement earlier this month, Combs’ camp called Buzbee’s flurry of lawsuits a “clear attempt to garner publicity.”

“Sir. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, male or female,” Combs’ media team said in a statement.
