Sean “Diddy” Combs sued for sexually abusing 10- and 17-year-old boys

Sean “Diddy” Combs faces new charges related to drug and sexual abuse of minors.

On Monday, Oct. 28, two men sued Combs, 54, in New York County Supreme Court, alleging that he subjected them to drugs and sexual violence when they were 10 and 17 years old. They both filed under the name John Doe, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

Naming Combs, Daddy’s House Recordings Inc., Combs Global and Combs’ bad guy companies, one accuser claimed in his complaint that he met Combs during an “audition” in 2005 when he was just 10 years old. Parents flew out of it Los Angeles to New York to meet and meet “a lot of people in the music industry,” including meeting Combs.

The statement alleges that Combs wanted to meet the 10-year-old girl in your hotel room and the child was dropped off by a consultant hired by the parents. Once there, he claims Combs said he could “make him a star” and asked him how “badly he wanted it.” He claims someone else in the hotel room gave him a soda and he felt “a little funny” after drinking it.

He claims that Combs or one of Combs’ employees made the drink with drugs such as HOMK and/or ecstasy. A photograph of the container allegedly used to lace the drink is included in the document.

The accuser claims Combs forced him to perform oral sex and threatened to harm his parents if he told anyone. He also claims that he “passed out” and when he woke up crying, his “anus and buttocks hurt a lot” and his “pants were unbuttoned.” He adds that he told the parents, but they “were scared of the potential consequences of reporting the abuse.”

In the second complaint, Diddy is accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy around 2008.

The attack allegedly happened while the teenager was auditioning for an MTV reality competition Creating a groupwhere aspiring musicians compete for a spot in a music group run by the founder of the Bad Boy label.

The complaint accuses Diddy of masturbating while groping the teenager during a private one-on-one on the first day of auditions. The complaint alleges that on the second day of the audition, Diddy forced him to perform oral sex with him and his bodyguard. Following the alleged attack, Diddy allegedly told the teenager he would be “watching” him after sensing his discomfort with what had happened. In the end, the teenager was eliminated from the competition.

The complaint also claims that after the attack, the teenager “was unable to return to the music industry for seven years.”

The plaintiffs, represented by the Buzbee Law Firm, are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, to be determined at trial.

“Both were looking to break into the music business and were promised that Combs could help them,” lead adviser Tony Busby said in a statement. “One alleged victim was ten at the time of the alleged incident, the other was seventeen. We will let the allegations in the complaints speak for themselves and work to see that justice is done. We will continue to file weekly cases naming Mr. Combs and other defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare documents.”

“The attorney behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth, as is evident from his repeated appearances in the press and at the 1-800 number,” Diddy’s attorneys said in a statement to PEOPLE. “As we said before, mr. Combs can’t respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are ridiculous or patently false. Mr. Combs and his legal team have complete confidence in the facts and the integrity of the legal process. In court, the truth will prevail: Mr. Combs has never sexually abused or trafficked anyone, male or female, adult or minor.”

The claims are the latest in Combs’ current legal troubles. On September 16, the disgraced music mogul was arrested in Manhattan and charged with sex-trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution.

He is is conducted at the Brooklyn Detention Center awaiting trial. Its the start of the trial is scheduled May 5, 2025.
