Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs has been accused in a lawsuit of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003. This is now the fourth sexual assault allegation against the producer in recent weeks.
The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was flown via private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York. The young girl claims that she was raped by three people, including Combs, Harve Pierre, and the president of Bad Boy Entertainment.
In the suit, Combs and his associates piled her with ‘copious amounts’ of drugs and alcochol. The suit claims that Combs raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness. Allegedly Combs watched as a third man also raped her.
The woman came forward as of late after reading about another lawsuit filed last month by Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie, who accused Combs of raping and beating her over the course of a decade.
“Seeing two other women bravely speak out against Mr. Combs and Mr. Pierre, respectively, gave Ms. Doe the confidence to tell her story as well,” the lawsuit states.
Combs settled the lawsuit as of late with Cassie and maintained his innocence. Combs has been involved with two other sexual lawsuits in recent weeks and denied the allegations against him.
In a statement on Wednesday, Combs declared, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.”

“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he said. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Combs recently stepped aside as chairman of REVOLT, the music TV network founded by himself and others in 2013.
The newest lawsuit is filed under the New York statute against gender-motivated violence. Like several other sexual assault statutes, it has recently been extended to allow suits that would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations.
The plaintiff is represented by Douglas Wigdor.
“As alleged in the complaint, Defendants preyed on a vulnerable high school teenager as part of a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying her with drugs and alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang raped by the three individual defendants at Mr. Combs’ studio,” Wigdor said in a statement. “The depravity of these abhorrent acts has, not surprisingly, scarred our client for life.”
The complaint filed in federal court in New York, includes photographs of the plaintiff, whose face is blurred out, in Combs’ studio and sitting in Combs’ lap.
