Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of gang-raping and sex-trafficking a 17-year-old schoolgirl when she was in the 11th grade, according to a new court filing seen by Pvnew.
It’s the fourth allegation of sexual assault made against the billionaire music mogul in three weeks — and comes after he settled the first suit, with his ex, singer Cassie, for an undisclosed sum after she accused him of years of rape and abuse.
Minutes after it was filed, Combs issued a furious denial.
In a statement to Pvnew, which he then posted on Instagram, Combs wrote: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.
“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.
“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
The latest accuser alleges that she was 17 when she was drugged and raped by Combs, his longtime lieutenant Harve Pierre and another, as yet unnamed, man back in 2003.
The filing includes a photo of the accuser, referred to as “Ms. Doe,” sitting on the lap of Combs, then 34, and alleges the assault left her suffering “significant emotional distress and feels of shame that have plagued her life and personal relationships for 20 years.”
Doe claims in the lawsuit that she was in high school and out with friends at a club in Detroit, Michigan, in 2003 when she first met Pierre, the former president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment, who told her she was “hot” — and insisted that his “best friend” and “brother” Combs would love to meet her.
He then called Combs, she claimed, and put her on the phone with the star, who told her she should fly to NYC with Pierre.
She agreed to this, but alleges she was forced to give Pierre — who had been smoking crack cocaine — oral sex before they boarded a flight to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
Upon landing, she says, she was taken to Daddy’s House Recording Studio, owned by Combs and Bad Boy, where she was plied with drugs and alcohol by Combs, Pierre and a third assailant, who had flown with her and Pierre.
The filing reads: “As the night wore on, the 17-year-old Ms. Doe became more and more inebriated, eventually to the point that she could not possibly have consented to having sex with anyone, much less someone twice her age.”
It claims that she was raped first in a bathroom at the studios by Combs, who removed her underwear and forced himself on her as she “hung over” a sink.
“While at the studio, Ms. Doe was gang raped by Mr. Combs, the Third Assailant and Mr. Pierre, in that order,” the filing alleges.
“While Mr. Combs was raping Ms. Doe, he complained that he could not ‘get off’ unless she pinched his nipples as hard as she could.”
The filing alleges: “Mr. Combs then watched on as Third Assailant, who Ms. Doe had not even realized had begun to have sex with her, raped Ms. Doe as she told him to stop.
“After Third Assailant was finished, Mr. Pierre took his turn at raping Ms. Doe and then violently forced her to give him oral sex, during which Ms. Doe was choking and struggling to breathe.”
“When Mr. Pierre finished, he left Ms. Doe in the bathroom alone. Ms. Doe fell into the fetal position and lay on the floor. Her vagina was in pain.”
The accuser says she could “barely stand up” following the alleged gang rape and was helped into a car, which took her back to the airport. She says she has “limited” recollection of getting back to Michigan.
The filing includes four photos and adds: “While the evening became a blur, Ms. Doe does recall Mr. Combs, Mr. Pierre and the Third Assailant hitting on her incessantly, stroking her body, asking to see her ‘ass’ and telling her how ‘hot’ and ‘sexy’ she was.”
“Various other pictures were taken in the studio that night, leaving no doubt that Ms. Doe was in Mr. Combs’ New York City studio, with Mr. Combs, on the night she was raped.”
The accuser is seeking monetary relief for the alleged assault in the New York courts.
She was prompted to launch legal action following singer Cassandra Ventura’s suit against Combs, her former boyfriend, last month, in which she said he subjected her to a decade of physical, sexual and mental abuse.
“Most triggering for Ms. Doe was reading about Ms. Ventura’s allegations of sex trafficking and being forced to have sex with other men against her will. Ms. Doe obviously understands that she too had been sex trafficked, and that Mr. Combs behavior in forcing women into nonconsensual sex was not an isolated incident or unique only to Ms. Ventura,” the filing reads.
One of the other Combs accusers, Joi Dickerson, said she was a 19-year-old student at Syracuse University when she agreed to meet Combs at a restaurant in Harlem in 1991. After their date, Combs “intentionally drugged” her, then brought her home and sexually assaulted her, according to the filing.
The latest accuser was also spurred on after a separate case filed against Pierre, which alleged that he used his power at Bad Boy to groom and sexually assault his former assistant. A Bad Boy Entertainment spokesperson told People that although Pierre is no longer employed there, the company was aware of the lawsuit and was investigating the allegations. Pierre has yet to comment on the suit.
“Seeing two other women bravely speak out against Mr. Combs and Mr. Pierre, respectively, gave Ms. Doe the confidence to tell her story as well. As such, she files this suit,” the filing adds.
The accuser’s attorney Douglas H. Wigdor told Pvnew: “As alleged in the complaint, Defendants preyed on a vulnerable high school teenager as part of a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying her with alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang raped by the three individual defendants at Mr. Combs’ studio.
“The depravity of these abhorrent acts has, not surprisingly, scarred Doe for life.”
