Sean “Diddy” Combs charged with sexual assault for the ninth time

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal problems are far from over.

The controversial rap mogul and alcohol entrepreneur is facing new allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking in a new lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint is the ninth sexual assault claim filed against the rapper since last November, when his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit describing being abused by Combs.

Adria English, a porn actress who says she worked for Combs from 2004 to 2009, accuses the rapper of engaging in a RICO enterprise, sexual assault, sexual harassment and sex trafficking, according to legal documents viewed by The Times. The 114-page lawsuit makes more than 30 allegations against Combs, several of his business ventures, celebrity jeweler Jacob “Jacob the Jeweler” Arabo, a woman who allegedly facilitated the rapper’s sex trafficking, and two media companies, as well as unnamed individuals.

“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it will not change the fact that Mr. Combs never sexually harassed or sexually acted against anyone,” Jonathan Davis, a lawyer for Combs, told the Times in a statement. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without evidence. Fortunately, there is a fair and impartial legal process to find out the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court against these and other baseless claims.”

In the lawsuit, English details her involvement with Combs’ various high-profile “white parties” at his New York and Florida residences, where she claims she was “asked” to have sexual intercourse with guests, including Arabo. English accuses Combs of forcing her to have sexual intercourse with Arabo in 2007, and notes in the lawsuit that refusing the hip-hop star’s “demands” was not an option.

A representative for Arabo did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.

English accuses Combs of threatening to ban her from the entertainment industry and her then-boyfriend from the modeling industry if she did not work as a sex worker at the parties. In 2009, English left New York and returned to California, where she currently lives. The lawsuit states that this was “the only way for English to escape Combs.”

English filed her complaint months after U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents raided Combs’ Holmby Hills and Miami mansions in March as part of a federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations against Combs. It’s unclear whether English’s allegations are related to that investigation. TMZ reported Wednesday that Combs is looking to sell the Holmby Hills mansion for $70 million.

In addition to Combs and the companies and individuals who allegedly attended and facilitated his white parties, English is also suing music magazine Vibe and its owner, Penske Media Corp. She claims the media companies provided Combs with the resources to host his parties, inflicted emotional distress on him in connection with the alleged sex trafficking, and published her picture in a November 2006 magazine issue about the parties.

English is seeking damages, including Vibe’s and PMC’s profits from the November 2006 issue, attorneys’ fees, losses and “other legal and equitable relief as appropriate.” She wants a jury trial.
