๐จ Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing new sexual assault allegations from 120 new accusers, according to a lawyer representing them. These claims date back over 20 years.
๐ The alleged assaults span three decades, involving both men and women, with some victims claiming they were drugged at parties. Notably, 25 of the 120 plaintiffs were minors at the time of the incidents.
โ๏ธ The lawyer plans to file lawsuits, emphasizing that victims will remain anonymous whenever legally possible. This follows a series of civil suits and a federal criminal case against Combs, alleging a long history of physical and sexual violence from 1991 to 2024.
๐ Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. His attorney categorically denies all allegations of sexual abuse.
๐ The law firm has received over 3,285 contacts from individuals claiming victimization by Combs, with 120 individuals currently represented in the lawsuits.
๐ฅ The group of plaintiffs is evenly divided between 60 males and 60 females, with a majority being 62% African American, 30% white, and the remainder Hispanic or Asian.
๐งช Many victims reported being drugged, with one drug identified as xylazine, a horse tranquilizer. Over 55% of victims reported the incidents to authorities or hospitals.
๐ The lawsuits will be filed individually, with each case depending on its own merits. The lawyer expects to start filing within the next 30 days.
โ ๏ธ The nature of the allegations includes violent sexual assault, sexual abuse of minors, and false imprisonment, among others.
๐ฃ๏ธ The lawyer encourages other victims to come forward, emphasizing that they are not alone and that there is strength in numbers.
๐ The firm is committed to vetting each claim thoroughly, ensuring that they have corroborating evidence before proceeding with the lawsuits.
๐ข The upcoming cases could potentially expose many powerful individuals and entities involved in enabling or participating in the alleged misconduct.
