A federal judge may have put a gag order on officials and lawyers in Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal case from talking to the media or anyone else, but a new lawsuit that alleges a horrifying rape of a 10-year-old boy by the Bad Boy Records founder in 2005 loudly screams volumes. Volumes about how far the currently incarcerated mogul has fallen and sets a new low for allegations against him, literally and figuratively
This latest of nearly a dozen lawsuits to come from Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee details the drugging and assaulting of the ambitious young man in a Manhattan hotel room by Combs in a M.O. that will sound familiar to anyone who has followed more than one of the plethora of cases against the 'I'll Ne Missing You' performer over the past year.
"Combs asked Plaintiff how badly he wanted to be a star, and what Plaintiff would do to get to be one," the action filed for a John Doe in New York State court today says, of the boy who flew in from LA with his parents to make contacts in the music business for his self-described "burgeoning" career. "Plaintiff responded, as might any ten-year-old child, that he would 'do anything."
Then Combs is said to have given the plaintiff a drink that is now claimed was spiked with a drug.
"After plaintiff consumed his soda and began feeling its effects, Combs told plaintiff to move closer to him, which plaintiff did," the filing says. "Combs then abruptly pushed plaintiff down and said words to the effect of, 'You have to do some stuff you don't want to do sometimes,'" it goes on to claim. "Once plaintiff had pushed plaintiff down, Combs pulled his penis out of his pants and told the ten-year-old plaintiff to 'kiss it.' When plaintiff resisted, Combs nevertheless forced his penis into plaintiff's mouth and proceeded to repeatedly push it in and out."
The alleged victim then states he black out after seizing up "in terror, only to awake later half naked with "his anus and buttocks hurt badly." After the rape, the much-accused Combs is claimed to threatened the boy's parents. He is also said to have told the boy to tell no one what happened if he wanted to get anywhere in the industry.
While the alleged victim did later reveal to his family what supposedly happened, no one ever went to the authorities out of concern Combs would follow through on his threats. As for the victim himself, today's suits paints a portrait of a young life shattered from almost the get-go.
"He battles fears and night terrors regularly," today's filing in the Supreme Court of New York says. "In short, Plaintiff was deprived of a normal childhood and is unable to interact with others and live a normal life in general due to his encounter with defendant Combs."
With this case, the other one today from a then 17-year-old who Combs supposedly raped a 17-year-old Making the Band contestant in 2008, and all the other cases they have filed in the past two weeks, Buzbee and his fellow lawyers lay out the history of recent accusations against Combs ever since ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura sued the producer back in November 2023. Like with all the other lawsuits he was filed so far for the supposed more than 100 victims who have contacted Buzbee since his call out and hotline number earlier this fall, the Texas attorney and the other lawyers on the matter want a series of unspecified damages for their client.
"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," a statement from Combs' team said today, somewhat repetitive of previous statements. "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."
Previously suits against Combs finding him fighting accusations of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 and a 16-year-old boy in 1998 among many other civil cases. Arrested on September 16 in an NYC hotel on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution 54-year-old Combs is looking at life in prison if founded guilty in the federally prosecuted criminal case.
Twice denied pre-trial release on $50 million bail in the more than month since his arrest, and appealing in a long-shot third attempt, Combs is in Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn right now. With traded barbs about leaks from Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney's office with Combs' legal team, the trial in the three charge criminal trial is set to start on May 5, 2025.
