If the ongoing cases of sex trafficking weren't enough, Sean 'Diddy' Combs on Tuesday got accused of alleged sexual assault of 120 people. These involve people from 25 states across America.
The 54-year-old producer has been locked up on charges of using his power and prestige to induce female victims into sexual performances with male escorts while they're drugged. These offences would take place in events called 'Freak Offs'. On 17 September, he pleaded not guilty after which he was locked at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

These fresh offences are reported by the Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who on Tuesday announced the allegations. According to him, around 3280 individuals contacted his firm, alleging that they had been sexually assaulted by Combs. After reviewing, they decided to represent 120 people whose complaints will be filed by next month.
"This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long. This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared and scarred," Buzbee said at a news conference. He also specified that New York, California, Georgia and Florida are the places with the most cases.
Describing the victims, he announced that out of 120, 60 are male and 60 female. Apart from that, 25 of them were minors at the time of the crime.
Combs's Attorney quickly made a statement after denying these accusations and stating that Combs would be providing proof of his innocence in the next hearing.
