Attorneys announced on Tuesday that they intend to file at least 120 lawsuits on behalf of people who say they were sexually abused by Sean “Diddy” Combs and his associates. Houston attorney Tony Buzbee spoke next to sexual abuse victims advocates and co-counsel Andrew Van Arsdale, of AVA Law Group, at a press conference and added that many of the alleged victims have already spoken to law enforcement authorities, including the FBI . The attorneys said more than 3,000 people have reached out to them about possible abuse, and they now represent 120 accusers.
Buzbee said a number of Combs’ alleged victims were minors, with the youngest being 9 years old at the time of the alleged abuse. The attorney said the child was brought to New York City by Combs’ record label, Bad Boy Records, for an audition, but was sexually abused by Combs and his associates at the studio. The boy was promised that he and his parents would get a record deal, Buzbee said.
