Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a new lawsuit alleging he drugged and raped a 10-year-old boy who had come to him seeking help to launch a career in entertainment. The allegation, which occurred nearly 20 years ago in 2005, represents the latest in a growing list of sexual assault accusations against the disgraced Combs, who is currently in prison awaiting trial.
The lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, claims that the alleged event took place when the boy, identified as John Doe, was brought to Combs’ New York office by his parents, who were seeking help for their son’s entertainment career. The boy’s parents are not mentioned in the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Combs allegedly gave the boy a soda that made him feel “a little funny,” which the plaintiff’s attorney claims was because the drink was laced with drugs “including but not limited to GHB and/or ecstasy.” Combs then allegedly told the boy to move closer to him and pushed him down, saying, “you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes.”
The rapper allegedly exposed his penis and told the boy to “kiss it.” After refusing, Combs forced him to perform oral sex, and the boy shortly after lost consciousness. When he came to, Combs’ “pants were undone, and his anus and buttocks hurt badly.”
Combs’ representatives have vehemently denied the allegations, saying the plaintiff’s attorney is seeking publicity. “The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth, as is obvious from his constant press appearances and 1-800 number,” they said in a statement to Variety.
“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”
The alleged event occurred nearly 20 years ago in 2005, according to the suit filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and which was reported on by Variety. The anonymous plaintiff currently resides in California and is suing over the alleged assault.
