Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a further 120 sexual misconduct complaints including from an alleged victim who claims they were nine-years-old when they were abused by the hip-hop producer.
Tony Buzbee, a Houston attorney, said he expected lawsuits to be filed within the next month. Mr Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and said that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct.
Mr Buzbee alleged at a press conference: “The youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was nine-years-old”. A 14-year-old and 15-year-old are also among the accusers, he added.
Combs, 54, the hip hop mogul, has been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since pleading not guilty on Sep 17 to federal charges that he used his “power and prestige” to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in parties he called “Freak Offs.”
Following the news conference in Texas, Erica Wolff, an attorney for Combs, said the performer “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus”.
“That said, Mr Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Ms Wolff said in a statement.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Mr Buzbee has also represented women who accused NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault.
