A Texas law firm is representing more than 50 victims who claim they were sexually assaulted by Sean “Diddy” Combs and his associates.
According to a report from Page Six, attorney Tony Buzbee of the Buzbee Law Firm shared the news on the firm’s Instagram page on Thursday (US time), explaining that the firm had been asked by Ava Law Group “to serve as Lead Counsel to pursue claims on behalf of over fifty individuals who were sexually assaulted and abused by Sean ” Diddy ” Combs and his associates.”
Buzbee called the group of people his law firm represented “brave” and said they included “both men and women.” He added that “many were minors when the abuse occurred.”
Some victims reportedly “reported the incidents to police,” while “others did not,” according to the attorney. “Each individual story is heartbreaking,” Buzbee said, claiming that “the alleged acts occurred at hotels, private homes, and even at PDiddy’s infamous ‘Freak Off’ parties.”
He described the alleged “offenses” as “staggering… depraved and depraved, perpetrated by people in positions of power against minors and vulnerable people”. The lawyer said he expected the number of alleged victims his firm represented to “increase” as the case “progressed” and believed “many more individuals would be implicated”.
Buzbee has yet to file a formal lawsuit on behalf of the alleged victims but said he plans to hold a press conference early next week – “where some of these stories can be told”.
“Our firm has been at the forefront of some of the most important cases in the United States,” he concluded. “We are proud to represent this group of brave souls and pray for justice on their behalf.”
Representatives for Sean “Diddy” Combs — who is facing nearly a dozen lawsuits alleging sexual and physical abuse — have previously denied all allegations against him. Sean was arrested last week on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion, sex trafficking by force, engaging in prostitution, and more.
Although Sean has pleaded not guilty to the charges mentioned above, he has been denied bail and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. According to the indictment, federal agents discovered more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant, various drugs, and three AR-15s when they raided Sean’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami in March.
Prosecutors claim Sean “Diddy” Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for decades, “creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in… sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”
According to the indictment, Sean “Diddy” Combs and members of the Combs Enterprise allegedly facilitated multiple “Freak Offs”—drug-fueled sexual gatherings. During these events, the defendant allegedly “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged the victim,” the indictment also states, and he “subjected the victim to physical, mental, and verbal abuse in order to induce the victim to participate in the Freak Offs”…
If convicted, Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison.
