Less than a week after he was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing another civil sexual abuse case.
The indictment alleges he and another man “brutally raped” a woman at his New York recording studio in 2001.
The new lawsuit comes after federal prosecutors arrested him and charged him with sex trafficking and racketeering, charges that, if proven, could land him in prison for life.
In the new complaint filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, Thalia Graves’ attorneys say Sean “Diddy” Combs and his head of security, Joseph Sherman, isolated her, drugged her and sexually assaulted her. The suit says the rapper also filmed the attack and then showed it to others.
“For decades, she remained silent and did not report the crime out of fear that defendants would use their power to ruin her life, as they had repeatedly and explicitly threatened to do,” Graves’ attorneys, including renowned attorney Gloria Allred, say in the indictment. “To this day, plaintiff suffers from severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks, and still lives in fear of defendants.”
The case is the latest of at least nine similar civil lawsuits filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs over the past year, each accusing him of sexual abuse and other wrongdoing.
