A 17-year-old aspiring musician says Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged his drink and molested him at a 2022 sex party he hosted in a Manhattan hotel, according to a new lawsuit against the hip-hop mogul.
The teen is the latest accuser to file a suit against Combs — who’s jailed on federal charges he carried out a decades-long sex-trafficking conspiracy, flying sex workers across state lines and forcing women he dated to have sex with male prostitutes during marathon, drug-fueled parties he called “Freak Offs.”
The accuser, identified only as John Doe, said he wanted to break into the music industry when someone tied to Combs recruited him to attend the 2022 party. The lawsuit, filed Sunday, doesn’t name the hotel or give the date the party took place.
It’s the latest suit by Tony Buzbee, a Texas attorney who on Oct. 1 said he had 120 civil cases pending against the disgraced mogul.
The recruiter made promises that the teen would meet music industry bigwigs and celebs, and when he arrived, Combs greeted him and handed him a drink, he alleges. They talked about the music industry, and Combs said he could make the teen a star, the suit alleges.
The teen started feeling “strange” not long after, and the suit alleges that Combs is known for dosing his guests with the date-rape drug GHB, mixing it in drinks and body oils.
The teen went looking for a bathroom, but instead stumbled into a bedroom where several people were having group sex, “including Combs, and another artist he recognized,” the lawsuit alleges.
Combs grabbed him, led him to the bed and forced him to lay down. There, as other participants performed sex acts all around him, Combs molested the teen’s genitals “for an extended period of time, trying to get him aroused,” the suit alleged.
He told Combs he couldn’t get aroused because he needed to use the bathroom and walked away, the suit says. As Combs busied himself with the other people in the bed, the teen called a friend to pick him up and fled the party, the suit alleges.
“Combs continued with his party as if nothing had happened. For Doe, everything had changed,” the suit alleges.
The teen told his friend what happened, then passed out in the car ride away from the hotel, the suit alleges. He’s since abandoned his music aspirations, and grappled with his trauma and the fear of reporting Combs’ alleged actions.
Combs has been hit with several lawsuits since his arrest in September, including claims he molested a 16-year-old boy at one of his infamous Hamptons parties and pistol-whipped and sexually assaulted a male worker in a Macy’s stockroom.
