Diddy, Son Sued as Federal Sex Trial Nears End

Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his son Justin Combs are being sued by a Louisiana woman who alleges she first connected with Justin via Snapchat, exchanged explicit photos, and was then lured to Los Angeles in 2017 under false promises of a job, where she was drugged, threatened, and gang-raped by Diddy, Justin, and two masked men at a Beverly Hills home. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, names both Combs and their business entities and seeks damages for sexual assault, battery, gender violence, and negligent supervision. Diddy and Justin’s legal team have categorically denied all allegations, asserting Diddy has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone and expressing confidence in a fair process. These allegations surface as Diddy's federal trial on sex trafficking, racketeering, and related charges nears its conclusion, with prosecutors portraying him as the leader of a long-running criminal enterprise. The defense is set to present closing arguments while Diddy maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted on the most serious federal charges, Diddy faces up to life in prison.
