The legal cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs continue to grow.

Since the rapper is currently imprisoned after his September 16th arrest on accusations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution, a total of 120 individuals have emerged to make fresh claims of sexual misconduct against him.

At a press conference on October 1st, as reported by NBC News, Tony Buzbee, the attorney from Texas representing the 120 accusers, stated that they would uncover those responsible for facilitating such inappropriate behavior in private settings. He also mentioned that they will persist with this investigation regardless of who the evidence points to.

The attorney stated that their group had gathered photographs, videos, and messages, which would reveal numerous influential individuals harboring several hidden scandals.

The allegations against Combs Buzbee noted, include, “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors.”

He added, “The list is quite extensive as it stands, but given the peculiarities of this situation, we’re determined to be absolutely correct before taking any action. Rest assured, the names you’ll see will leave you astonished.

In simpler terms, the lawyer clarified that more than 3,000 people have made allegations against Combs. They plan to initiate legal actions in various states over the next 30 days. Additionally, they mentioned that additional defendants will be included in the lawsuits at a later time.

At a recent news conference, Buzbee stated that a quarter of the accusers were minors during the reported events. He also mentioned that one of the accusers was said to be only nine years old at the time.

However, Combs’ legal team denies all the allegations against him.

In response to TopMob News, Erica Wolff, Mr. Combs’ attorney, stated that due to the baseless accusations turning into an uncontrolled media frenzy, it is impossible for Mr. Combs to respond to every unwarranted claim. However, he firmly and unequivocally denies any allegation of sexual abuse against him, be it adults or minors, as he considers these claims to be false and defamatory.

She mentioned, “He eagerly anticipates demonstrating his innocence and clearing his name in the courtroom, a place where facts, not assumptions, determine the truth.

On September 16, 2024, I found myself in handcuffs, right there in the lobby of a New York hotel – quite surreal, really! NBC News reported it, but details about what exactly Diddy (Combs) has been accused of are scarce. There’s also speculation as to whether this arrest could be connected to any recent raids that have taken place. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for more information soon!

In a statement to TopMob News, attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed disappointment over the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s decision to prosecute Mr. Combs, whom they believe is being unfairly accused. Despite his flaws, they maintain that he is not a criminal. To demonstrate his cooperation, Mr. Combs willingly moved to New York last week in preparation for these charges.

The lawyer added, “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

After Combs was arrested based on the sealed indictment, the indictment was unsealed on Sept. 17.

The 54-year-old was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; as well as transportation to engage in prostitution, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.

The indictment alleged Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for more than a decade, with prosecutors saying the purported behavior started around 2008.

“To do so,” the documents stated, “Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

As reported by NBC News, Combs pleaded not guilty in court and was denied bail. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, shared beforehand that he would vigorously defend him with every bit of energy and strength at his disposal, expressing complete faith in his legal team.
