HOUSTON – Houston attorney Tony Buzbee says his law firm is representing over 50 people who say they were subjected to sexual assault and abuse by hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Combs was arrested on Sept. 16 after being indicted by a federal grand jury in New York. He is charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking with allegations listed against him dating back to 2008. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“This group of brave individuals include both men and women; many were minors when the abuse occurred. Some of these brave individuals reported the incidents to the police, others did not. Each individual story is gut wrenching and heartbreaking,” a post on Instagram from Buzbee read.
Buzbee says the acts the individuals are suing over occurred at hotels, private homes, and also at the PDiddy “Freak Off” parties.
“The violations against this group of individuals are mindboggling and can only be described as debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people against minors and the weak. I expect the group seeking redress will grow as this case progresses. I expect many other individuals will be implicated,” Buzbee said.
Buzbee says they expect to speak next week and some of the people will tell their stories.
“We are proud to represent this group of brave souls and pray for justice on their behalf,” Buzbee said.
