Diving Deeper:

Sean "Diddy" Combs, already under scrutiny following sexual assault allegations by his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, faces new accusations of raping a minor. Filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, this lawsuit claims that a 13-year-old girl, now 37, was sexually assaulted by Combs at a post-MTV VMAs party in 2000. The victim was reportedly feeling lightheaded after having a drink, when Combs, alongside two unnamed celebrities, allegedly attacked her in a private room.

According to the suit, Combs and the male celebrity raped the girl while the female celebrity watched. The suit also details that Combs tried to force the victim to perform oral sex but stopped when she resisted. The lawsuit describes the lasting psychological damage caused to the victim and seeks damages for battery, rape, and false imprisonment, among other charges.

Combs has denied all the allegations, with his legal team dismissing the lawsuits as attempts to gain publicity. Combs remains in federal custody on separate charges of sex trafficking, and his trial is set to begin in May 2025. The lawsuits and accusations from multiple individuals have only added to his mounting legal troubles.
