Summary
A California lawsuit filed this week accuses Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexually assaulting an unidentified former child actor at a Hollywood Hills networking event in May 2007.
The complaint says Combs led the minor into a back room with talk of project opportunities, gave him a beverage, then assaulted him after he said he was uncomfortable.
Combs spokesman Juda Engelmayer called the allegations "false and ridiculous," saying Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone, including any child.
The suit also names the actor's former agents, alleging they failed to provide a chaperone or ensure guardians were present so he was not left alone with adult industry figures.
The case adds to dozens of civil claims since Combs' 2024 arrest; he is serving a 50-month sentence after 2025 convictions on two lesser counts while appealing and is set for release in 2028.
