Warning: This article mentions sexual assault and child abuse. Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in 2005, according to a new lawsuit that joins more than two dozen others accusing the music mogul of sexual misconduct. The civil lawsuit was one of two filed in a New York state court in Manhattan by Tony Buzbee , a lawyer who says he represents more than 150 victims of Combs’ abuse , and who has filed at least 17 lawsuits.
In the second lawsuit, another male accuser said he was a 17-year-old auditioning for the reality TV show Making the Band when Combs and a bodyguard sexually assaulted him in 2008. “The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth,” Combs’ lawyers said in a statement resembling those issued after earlier Buzbee lawsuits..
