The criminal case is in the justice system's hands, while civil cases await facts.

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.
