A former child actor has accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexually assaulting him in 2007 at a networking event in the Hollywood Hills. The anonymous male accuser filed his lawsuit against Combs this week in California.
Allegations
The lawsuit alleges that Combs guided the child actor into a backroom at the event, offered him an alcoholic drink, and then performed oral sex on him. Combs’ representative has denied the allegations, stating that the complaint describes events that allegedly occurred nearly twenty years ago and is based solely on the plaintiff’s account.
The accuser, who filed his suit under the pseudonym ‘John YH Roe,’ is also suing his former talent agency, claiming they did not adequately protect him as a minor and should have had an adult chaperone accompanying him at the networking event.
Previous Allegations
This is not the first time Combs has been accused of sexual assault by a minor. He has faced lawsuits from plaintiffs who allege they were teenagers at the time they were allegedly assaulted, with one accuser claiming he was just 10 years old when he was assaulted by Combs.
Combs has denied all allegations against him and has said he has never sexually assaulted a minor or anyone else. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing a sexual assault case against Combs, determining whether the case is strong enough to move forward with pressing charges.
