Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been named in a new lawsuit alleging the rape of a 16-year-old girl in 2000, adding to a growing list of sexual misconduct accusations against him.
The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims that as a high school student in Lower Manhattan, she encountered Combs while working as a babysitter in the same apartment building where Combs' then-romantic partner resided.
According to the lawsuit, Combs offered the teenager a ride home multiple times, which she initially declined. After persistent offers, she accepted.
Instead of taking her home, the lawsuit alleges that Combs, accompanied by two unnamed male employees, drove her to a different location. During the ride, she was offered a drink to "calm her down," which led her to feel "groggy" and "unsteady."
The plaintiff alleges that Combs then raped her before she was returned to her apartment building and left in the lobby.
This lawsuit is among more than 30 filed against Combs, accusing him of various forms of sexual misconduct. Combs' legal team has consistently denied these allegations.
In a statement to PEOPLE, his attorneys asserted: "No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor." They emphasized confidence in the judicial process, stating that Combs "is confident he will prevail in court."
Currently, Combs is detained in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges, with the trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.
The mounting legal challenges have significantly impacted Combs' public image and business ventures. Once a dominant figure in the music industry, his reputation has been marred by these serious allegations.
The entertainment community and the public are closely monitoring the developments in these cases. The recent lawsuit also highlights the broader issue of sexual misconduct within the entertainment industry, prompting discussions about power dynamics and the protection of minors.
As the legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on the testimonies of the accusers and the defense mounted by Combs' legal team. The outcome of these cases may have far-reaching implications for the industry and for survivors seeking justice.
Combs' attorneys have reiterated their stance, stating: "We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court."
As the trial date approaches, both sides are preparing for a legal battle that will be closely watched by many. The allegations against Combs span decades, with accusers coming forward with stories of abuse, coercion, and assault. The legal proceedings are expected to shed light on these claims and determine the veracity of the accusations.
The entertainment industry continues to grapple with issues of misconduct, and the cases against Combs serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability and justice for survivors. As the situation unfolds, further updates will provide insight into the legal strategies employed and the responses from both the accusers and the defense.
The upcoming trial in May 2025 will be a pivotal moment in addressing the serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs.
