The legal cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs continue to mount.
With the rapper behind bars after being arrested last month in sex trafficking and extortion charges120 people have already filed new accusations of sexual assault against the tycoon.
Perhaps the most notable and heinous? One of those accusers is a 9-year-old boy.
On Tuesday, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee held a press conference alleging that Combs sexually abused a crowd of minors.
The lawyer alleged that a 9-year-old boy was abused after auditioning at Bad Boy Records Studio in New York.
“Other boys were there to audition, too,” Buzbee said.
“They were all trying to get a record deal. They were all minors. This individual (the 9-year-old boy) was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people in the studio with the promise to his parents and himself of getting a record deal.”
Added Buzbee:
“We will expose the facilitators who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will investigate this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”
The lawyer said his team “collected photos, videos, texts”, which would expose “a lot of powerful people… a lot of dirty secrets”.
According to NBC News, Buzbee – who claims that 25 of the aforementioned victims were minors – plans to file lawsuits in multiple states over the next 30 days.
These new allegations come in the wake of him being accused of hosting what he and his friends call Crazy parties.
The federal indictment filed last month alleges that the artist organized “elaborate sexual performances” during which women were forced, through “force, threats of force and coercion, to cause the victims to engage in prolonged sexual acts with workers of male commercial sex”.
According to this legal document, among the supplies seized by authorities from Diddy’s homes earlier this year were 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Diddy accused by authorities of arranging, directing, masturbating during, and often “electronically recording”” the Freak Offs — while also transporting commercial sex workers “across state lines and internationally.
These meetings were frequent and reportedly lasted for days.
As of this writing, Diddy remains in custody because he was denied bail on September 17th.
He has pleaded not guilty and denied all current charges against him and awaits his hearing on October 9.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address all of the unsubstantiated allegations in what has become a reckless media circus,” the star’s attorney, Erica Wolff, said in a statement to E! News.
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any allegation that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
“He hopes to prove his innocence and defend himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
