A former adult film actor, Adria English, has filed a lawsuit against music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, alleging sex trafficking and sexual assault. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, claims that Combs and other defendants used English as 'a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others' during 'White Parties' at Combs' homes in the Hamptons, New York, and Miami, Florida.
The complaint further alleges that Combs forced English to 'engage in prostitution and sex work' between 2006 and 2009. This lawsuit is the ninth filed against Combs since last November, with eight directly accusing him of sexual assault. One of the lawsuits, filed by former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, has been settled, while another lawsuit implicates his son Christian Combs of sexual assault, with Sean Combs being accused of aiding and abetting.
Combs' attorney, Jonathan Davis, has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone. Davis emphasized the importance of a fair judicial process to determine the truth and expressed confidence that Combs will prevail against the baseless claims in court.
English's lawsuit seeks a jury trial and punitive damages, with the amount undisclosed. Despite Combs' denials and strong statements against the allegations, federal investigators are reportedly preparing to bring accusers before a federal grand jury, signaling a potential escalation in the ongoing investigation involving the producer and Bad Boy Records founder.
