New York, NY – Rap mogul and alcohol entrepreneur Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new legal troubles with accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This marks the ninth sexual assault lawsuit filed against Combs since last November, when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura accused him of abuse.
Adult-film actor Adria English alleges that she was a victim of Combs’ actions while working for him from 2004 to 2009. The lawsuit accuses Combs of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking, among other charges. Combs’ attorney has denied the allegations, stating that the claims are baseless and expressing confidence in prevailing in court.
English details disturbing accounts of being coerced into sexual activities at Combs’ high-profile parties in New York and Florida. She claims that she was pressured to engage in sexual intercourse with guests, including celebrity jeweler Jacob “Jacob the Jeweler” Arabo. The lawsuit also mentions threats made by Combs to prevent English from leaving the entertainment industry.
In response to these allegations, Department of Homeland Security agents conducted searches at Combs’ residences in Holmby Hills and Miami earlier this year as part of a federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations. Combs is reportedly looking to sell his Holmby Hills mansion for $70 million amidst the legal scrutiny.
English is not only suing Combs but also media entities like Vibe and Penske Media Corp, alleging that they provided resources for the parties and inflicted emotional distress related to the alleged sex trafficking. She is seeking damages, including profits from a magazine issue featuring her likeness, legal fees, and further relief as deemed necessary.
The lawsuit sheds light on the ongoing legal battles faced by Combs and the complex web of allegations surrounding his activities. As the case unfolds, the truth behind these accusations will be unveiled through the legal process, determining the outcome of these serious claims.
