Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Faces Fourth Sexual Assault Lawsuit, Denies Accusations

For the fourth time in three weeks, a woman has filed a sexual assault lawsuit against music mogul Sean Combs, best known as Diddy, and two other men.

Jane Doe, as she is referred to in the legal action, stated that the attack happened when she was 17 in 2003.

She claims the rapper, 54,  flew her to his New York studio and was given "copious amounts of drugs and alcohol" before Diddy and two other men took turns assaulting her.

The woman claims she drifted in and out of consciousness during the alleged ordeal and was left in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home.

In a statement to BBC News, lawyers for the woman said: "As alleged in the complaint, Defendants preyed on a vulnerable high school teenager as part of a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying her with drugs and alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang raped by the three individual defendants at Mr. Combs' studio.

"The depravity of these abhorrent acts has, not surprisingly, scarred our client for life."

The legal team also confirmed a federal lawsuit had been filed against Combs and two other men, as well as two responsible corporate entities.

Lawyers allege one of the other two men named in the lawsuit approached Doe at a lounge in Michigan, near to where she was living at the time, told her that he was best friends with Combs, and proceeded to call Combs, who was in New York City.

The two allegedly "convinced" Doe to take a private jet to Combs' recording studio in New York City and plied her with drugs and alcohol and viciously assaulted her, one after the other.

Responding to the latest allegations, Diddy said: "Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,".

"Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth."

Last month, Diddy was accused in a lawsuit by R&B singer Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie, of rape and sex trafficking. The pair settled out of court the day after it was filed. Two further women subsequently came forward accusing the rapper of rape. Diddy has denied the claims.
