The hip-hop performer has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy in a New York court.
A lawyer has claimed he is representing 120 people who have come forward with sexual assault allegations levelled at Sean “Diddy“ Combs.
Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said on Tuesday he expected lawsuits would be filed within the next month in New York and Los Angeles.
He said the victims included 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. He added that one of the individuals claimed he was just nine years old at the time of his assault.
“This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else,” Buzbee said at a news conference. “This should have never been allowed to go on for so long. This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared and scarred.”
Following the announcement in Texas, a lawyer for Combs, Erica Wolff, said the performer ”cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus”.
