A “John Doe” claims he was sexually assaulted by Sean Combs before a “well known” professional athlete intervened and stopped the assault.
The lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, is one of five new filings in New York, including one that claims Combs raped a 13-year-old girl at a VMA after party in the year 2000.
According to the complaint, John Doe owns a luxury car dealership and a jewelry store in the Los Angeles area. In the lawsuit, Doe claims Combs sent him an invitation to attend a Ciroc vodka party. Doe saw the invitation as a good way to to promote his businesses.
The accuser says that Combs, who was “acting strangely” and drunk, “instructed” him to enter his “private office.” Then Doe claims Combs exposed himself and grabbed Doe’s genitals through his pants.
Doe didn’t ask Combs to remove his hand. The plaintiff said he was “shocked and disoriented” and froze momentarily, not knowing what to do.
Combs only released the man’s genitals when a professional athlete walked in the office and intervened.
The accuser says that he immediately fled the party and went home.
The plaintiff claims emotional distress and trauma and has demanded a trial by jury. He is seeking compensatory damages.
The lawsuit doesn’t name the pro athlete who stopped the assault, but rumors suggest the athlete may be LeBron James who often partied with Combs in the past. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes scrubbed tweets from his X timeline to distance himself from Combs.
R&B singer Usher Raymond deleted his entire X.com timeline after Combs’s arrest in September. Usher later claimed his account was “hacked.”
Usher, who has never campaigned for a politician before, is campaigning heavily for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Fans say Usher is concerned about what the feds have found (or might find) on videos seized during raids on Combs’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents over 100 “victims”, told Law&Crime Network that he knows why celebrities like Usher are “scrubbing their social media.”
“There is a long list of people,” Buzbee said. “I have no doubt that there are people right now who know that they were somehow involved in this who are now scrubbing their social media, who are searching their memories, who are deleting their texts, probably deleting pictures, and trying to distance themselves from this. And we know who they are or we will find out who they are.”
Another source told DailyMail.com that the May 5, 2025 trial date for Combs will likely be delayed because there are multiple minors involved in the case.
“Minors present a completely different set of circumstances,” Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, said, according to DailyMail.com. “We know through his lawyers, Combs is arguing that the sexual activity happened, but it was consensual. Of course, for sex trafficking, you need one of those elements: force, thought, or coercion. Obviously, minors cannot consent to any sexual activity, so that would be a very different defense entirely.”
