New lawsuit accuses Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sexually assaulting a child actor

Key Points:

• Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently serving a 50-month prison sentence for prostitution-related offenses, faces new allegations of sexually assaulting a minor at a 2007 Hollywood Hills event, according to a recent California lawsuit filed by an unidentified former child actor.
• The lawsuit accuses Combs of forcibly touching the minor and performing oral copulation while the minor was under the influence of a beverage allegedly provided by Combs; the minor also sued his former agents for failing to protect him during the event.
• Combs' spokesperson denied the allegations, calling them "false and ridiculous" and attributing them to opportunistic individuals encouraged by personal injury lawyers.
• Combs was acquitted last year of sex trafficking and racketeering charges but convicted on lesser counts, with his appeal pending; his lawyers argue he was unfairly punished and that some conduct should be protected as amateur pornography production.
• This new lawsuit adds to numerous civil claims against Combs since his 2024 arrest, as his legal team continues to defend him while he remains incarcerated until at least 2028.
