Attorney Tyrone Blackburn, representing three individuals who have filed civil lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs for alleged sexual assault, expressed optimism following Combs' recent arrest. Blackburn stated that the arrest marked the initial step towards justice for his clients.
Blackburn emphasized that while the criminal aspect of the case is in the hands of the justice system, they are eagerly awaiting the opportunity for the facts to come to light in the civil cases. He also anticipated additional victims coming forward, citing clear evidence that had been accumulating over time.
Specific details regarding the charges against Combs have not been disclosed yet. The US attorney for the Southern District of New York is expected to unseal the indictment soon.
Among Blackburn's clients are Lil Rod, April Lampros, and Grace O’Marcaigh, each of whom filed separate civil lawsuits against Combs this year. Lil Rod and Lampros accused Combs of sexual assault, while O’Marcaigh's lawsuit alleged that Combs aided and abetted someone accused of sexual assault.
These lawsuits are part of a larger trend, with a total of 10 suits filed against Combs since November. Nine of these lawsuits have accused Combs of sexual assault, indicating a pattern of allegations against the music mogul.
