“Over 100 individuals” have accused star P. Diddy of sexual assault, as revealed by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing them collectively and plans to take legal action against the American rapper. “This is a significant issue that we aim to pursue vigorously,” the Texas-based lawyer stated in a press release issued on Tuesday, October 1, calling on the music and entertainment community for support. “If you have been a victim or a witness to this abhorrent behavior, I urge you to come forward.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs, a prominent figure in hip hop, has faced about ten complaints of rape or sexual assault over several months. He was apprehended on September 16 in a hotel in Manhattan and has been placed in pre-trial detention. He has pleaded not guilty to charges related to trafficking for sexual exploitation and extortion.
Federal prosecutor Damian Williams described a scheme rooted in “violence” intended to coerce women into engaging in “extended sexual relationships with sex workers,” incidents that he claims were “documented” and during which victims consumed substances like ecstasy, GHB (often referred to as the date rape drug), or ketamine. The indictment alleges that the rapper utilized his employees, along with the resources and influence of the extensive business empire he managed, to establish a criminal organization whose members participated in sexual trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice.
