Another round of lawsuits filed against Sean Diddy Combs on Monday, Oct. 14, accuse the rapper of raping women, sexually molesting an underaged boy, and sexually assaulting men. Until these new lawsuits, Comb had been accused only of sex crimes against adults.
At least six lawsuits were filed against the hip hop star on Oct. 14 in Manhattan federal court. All of the lawsuits were anonymous and came from two women and four men.

In the latest round of filings, a man who was 16 at the time, said Combs fondled his genitals in 1998, telling him that “it was a rite of passage to becoming a music star.” The man said he agreed to the act out of fear of Combs, only realizing later he was sexually molested.
The other lawsuits filed on Oct. 14 alleged that Combs raped people, forced people to perform oral sex and drugged people to incapacitate them during sexual assaults.
The latest accusers are among more than 100 alleged victims of Combs’ following his sex trafficking arrest on Sept. 16. Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say that Combs kept his victims silent with threats of blackmail and physical violence including kidnapping and beatings.
Two judges have refused to release Combs on bail, saying he is a danger to the community.
