Los Angeles, CA – Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a new legal battle as a woman named Thalia Graves has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, accusing him of rape and recording the assault. This latest accusation comes as Combs is already in jail, awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and drug trafficking. According to Graves, the assault took place back in 2001 at the Bad Boy Records studios in New York.
Graves, who was 25 at the time of the alleged incident, claims that Combs and his head of security, Joseph Sherman, lured her into a meeting under false pretenses. She alleges that she was given a drink that caused her to lose consciousness briefly before waking up bound and being sexually assaulted by Combs and Sherman. The lawsuit further states that Graves did not realize the assault had been recorded until years later.
This is not the first time Combs has been accused of sexual assault, as Graves is the 11th person to come forward with allegations against the rapper. Gloria Allred, a notable attorney, is representing Graves in this case, and both are set to hold a press conference to address the matter.
In the federal court, Combs’ bail requests have been denied, and he remains in custody. Prosecutors claim that Combs orchestrated a series of sexual crimes involving drugged-up and manipulated victims, including female victims and male sex workers. There are also allegations of violent acts and the release of compromising videos involving Combs and former partners.
As the case unfolds, prosecutors allege that Combs used his influence and resources to facilitate his criminal activities. They plan to present evidence such as financial records, travel records, electronic communications, and videos to support their case. Combs’ defense attorney has acknowledged his client’s past mistakes but maintains that the relationships in question were consensual.
The allegations against Combs shed light on a darker side of the music industry, revealing the exploitation and manipulation that can occur behind the scenes. As the legal proceedings continue, more details may emerge regarding the extent of Combs’ involvement in these criminal activities.
