Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs is in federal custody, facing serious sex trafficking charges. Houston attorney Tony Buzbee says over 3,000 people have come forward, with 120 victims now being represented. This story is unfolding fast.
HOUSTON - Sean "Diddy" Combs will face lawsuits from new accusers, according to Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee.
The suits accuse Combs and people close to the hip-hop mogul of sexual assault, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.
In a post on social media, Buzbee says the cases date back as far as 2000, but most of the events discussed in the lawsuits occurred in 2022. The incidents occurred in New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, according to the lawyer.
Four of the defendants in the suit are male and three are female.
One of the alleged victims was 13 years old at the time of the incident. Another was 17 years old.
"We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves, and will work to see that justice is done," reads a part of the social media post.
The Buzbee Law Firm says it expects to file weekly cases against Combs and others as they continue to gather evidence.
