LA Prosecutors Review 2025 Sexual Assault Case Against Sean Combs as He Serves 50-Month Sentence

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 3

Summary

  • Los Angeles County prosecutors said LAPD and the sheriff’s department each submitted separate sexual-assault investigations in fall 2025 involving one alleged victim, and the district attorney’s office is now reviewing the case.
  • Jonathan Hay, a record producer who publicly identified himself as the accuser, said the review validates allegations he made last year that Combs assaulted and falsely imprisoned him during a 2020 incident tied to a Notorious BIG estate project.
  • If Los Angeles prosecutors file charges, Combs could face another trial while already serving a 50-month federal sentence in New Jersey for transporting women for prostitution.
  • Combs, 56, was acquitted last year on racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking counts, and his legal team is still trying to overturn the remaining federal conviction.
  • The allegations also name Christopher "CJ" Wallace and Willie Mack; Wallace’s lawyer called the claims baseless, and Wallace filed a defamation suit against Hay in November.
