Today, Sean “Diddy” Combs remains detained as he faces extensive legal issues involving charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and other serious allegations. Recently, the jail where he is being held, the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, was part of a federal investigation due to poor conditions, which added scrutiny to his detention.

Combs’ trial is set for May 2025, and his legal team continues to challenge his detention and the charges, as more alleged victims come forward in related cases​.

2005 ALLEGED INCIDENT RESURFACES

In 2005, the parents of a 10-year-old boy from Los Angeles sought to help their son’s burgeoning career and flew with him to New York to meet people in the music industry according to a report by Rolling Stone.

Sean Combs told a consultant the family hired that he wanted to meet with the boy alone, according to a new civil lawsuit filed Monday in New York.

In a hotel room, the plaintiff performed several rap songs for Combs who told the boy, who is referred to as John Doe in the suit, that he could “make him a star,” the lawsuit said.

“Combs asked Plaintiff how badly he wanted to be a star, and what Plaintiff would do to get to be one. Plaintiff responded, as might any ten-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything,'” the lawsuit said.

At this point, according to the lawsuit, one of the other people present gave the boy a soda, which made him feel “a little funny.”

PLAINTIFF SODA EFFECT CLAIMS

“After Plaintiff consumed his soda and began feeling its effects, Combs told Plaintiff to move closer to him, which Plaintiff did. Combs then abruptly pushed Plaintiff down and said words to the effect of ‘you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes,'” according to the lawsuit, which then goes on to describe an alleged sexual assault.

The incident was alleged in one of two new lawsuits filed against Combs on Monday.

THEN 17 YEAR OLD BOY LAWSUIT CLAIM

In a separate civil lawsuit, Combs is accused of sexually assaulting a then-17-year-old male auditioning for the reality show “Making the Band” under the guise of questioning how the teen would “handle situations involving sexual pressure.”

The lawsuit said Combs, during a three-day audition, groped and fondled the teen while he “emphasized his power to control Plaintiff’s future in the music industry.”

During a second interview, Combs “instructed Plaintiff to undress, explaining that Plaintiff needed to demonstrate the ability to embody a ‘sex idol’ persona, which was purportedly required for the band’s image,” the lawsuit said. “This encounter also escalated into Combs forcing the Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him.”

DIDDY’S LAWYERS DENY LATEST CLAIM

Combs has denied the allegations against him. In a statement Monday, his defense attorneys hit back against the new allegations, accusing the plaintiff’s lawyer of lacking credibility.

“The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth, as is obvious from his constant press appearances and 1-800 number,” the statement said. “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false.”

The defense attorneys said they and Combs “have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process.”

“In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,” the defense attorneys said.
