SEAN “Diddy” Combs has been slapped with new lawsuits accusing him of rape and sexual assault, including against a 16-year-old boy.
The fresh lawsuits come after Combs was arrested on criminal charges, with dozens more filing civil suits for rape and assault.
The six new claims were filed against the disgraced rapper in a federal court in New York City today, two by women and four by men, one of whom says he was underage when the alleged assault happened.
More than 100 alleged victims are now in the process of taking legal action against Combs in the wake of his sex trafficking and racketeering charges last month.
All six people who filed the lawsuits were given anonymity, with their names listed as Jane and John Does.
The 16-year-old John Doe alleges that Combs fondled his genitals when he attended a party in Long Island in 1998.
He claims during a discussion about the boy breaking into the music industry Combs, 28 at the time, told him to drop his pants.
According to the man’s lawsuit, Combs explained to him that it was a rite of passage to becoming a music star, at one point asking him: “Don’t you want to break into the business?”
The 16-year-old’s claim marks the first time that Combs has been accused in the civil and criminal cases of sexual activity with a child.
Monday’s other new suits include allegations of rape, forced oral sex, and drugging to incapacitate the victims.
Another victim, identified as a John Doe, claimed he was “orally raped” by Combs in the stockroom of the Macy’s Flagship store in May 2008.
He claimed he was working in the concession of Ecko Clothing and was in the stockroom when Combs and three of his bodyguards entered.
The victim alleged he was struck in the back of the neck and when he fell down to the floor, the assault began.
The suit claimed that Combs proceeded to “forcefully, and brutally, orally rape the plaintiff”.
After the assault, the victim alleges Combs and his bodyguards made threats towards him.
He claims he tried to report the alleged assault to Macy’s security but no action was taken.
Meanwhile, one of the Jane Does alleges Combs raped her in a locked hotel room in 2004 after he invited her and a friend there for a party.
The woman, then a college freshman, alleges Combs also forced her friend to perform oral sex on him and said he would have them both killed if they didn’t comply with his demands.
Another man working as a security guard at Combs’ Hamptons white party in 2006 alleges the star gave him an alcoholic beverage he came to believe was laced with a drug that made him feel extremely ill.
The man alleges Combs then pushed him into a van, held him down and sexually assaulted him.
Combs’ lawyer did not immediately respond to comment when approached by The Sun.
Combs is currently being held in Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center has been denied bail twice.
The number of allegations against him began to spiral when a video showing the rapper beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel in 2016 was made public.
Diddy’s trial date for the criminal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering has been set down for May 5 next year.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges with his lawyer addressing previous claims.
He said Combs “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
An indictment released last month, however, alleges Combs coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates who helped him silence the victims through violence – including kidnapping and physical beating.
It alleges the rapper held sordid ‘Freak Offs’ that were fueled by drugs and left guests needing IV drips after going on for days.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said earlier this month that he is representing 120 accusers – including one who claims he was just nine years old when he was allegedly abused by the rapper – and warned: “the names will shock you.”
Buzbee said the allegations involve “many powerful people” and “many dirty secrets.”
He also noted that his team has “pictures, video and texts” to back up the claims.
“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors,” Buzbee told reporters.

Diddy's downfall
By The U.S. Sun’s Senior Reporter Forrest McFarland, who has been reporting on Diddy’s legal battles for years
BEFORE Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on Monday night, it had been highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations – and had two of his mansions raided by the feds.
His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called “Freak Offs.”
Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Combs were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities.
The development also came after Combs was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.
Aside from the Tupac probe, Combs was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.
Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway.
Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Combs’ mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his “Freak Off” supplies.
In addition to his federal criminal charges, Combs also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.
Music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Combs forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over.
He faces life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts.
