Sean Diddy Combs has been accused of sexually abusing a nine-year-old boy who was auditioning for a record deal with Bad Boy Records. Attorney Tony Buzbee, the lawyer in charge of the plaintiffs, revealed this during a press conference on Tuesday. 

The child and other minors were auditioning for a record deal at Bad Boy Records.

Combs was alleged to have abused boys and girls, exploiting their dreams of music careers with his label, Bad Boy Records.

According to Buzbee, Combs and others at the studio promised the boy and his parents a record deal in exchange for the abuse.

“This individual, who was nine years old at the time, was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several others in the promise of securing a record deal,” Buzbee said.

In another case, a minor was reportedly told by Combs that he would make him a star but needed to speak in private, away from the boy’s parents. 

Once in a private area, Combs allegedly coerced the victim into performing oral sex.

Buzbee also detailed a separate incident involving a 15-year-old girl who was flown to New York for a party. 

The girl was allegedly drugged and raped in a private room in Combs’ presence, with other individuals taking turns assaulting her.

As the Justice Department prepares to release the names of others allegedly involved in these horrific acts, the potential fallout could be widespread, affecting not only Combs but others in his inner circle involved in the abuse of minors and other sex crimes.
