‘Well known’ athlete intervened as Diddy groped young man at Ciroc vodka party, lawsuit claims
Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of sexually assaulting a businessman at a 2022 Ciroc vodka party before a “well-known” athlete ended it, a new lawsuit alleges.
The indictment, seen by DailyMail.com, is one of five new charges against the jailed music mogul, one of which alleges he raped a 13-year-old girl at a VMA after-party.
A John Doe owns a luxury car and jewelry rental company in the Los Angeles area, where the rapper often visited. He claims he and Combs did business together.
The suit contains redacted photos of Combs and several celebrity guests at the party, which Combs sent the man a personal invitation to attend. He saw the star power as a way to further promote his company.
The prosecutor says Combs, who was “acting strangely” and intoxicated, “directed” him to his “private office” before exposing himself to the alleged victim and grabbing his genitals through his pants.

The prosecutor said he was “shocked and disoriented” and froze for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Combs was only stopped when the famed athlete, who was not identified, walked into the office and intervened.
The prosecutor says he immediately left the party and went home.
The plaintiff claims emotional distress and trauma and is demanding a jury trial on his claims. He claims damages.
The latest lawsuits are based on what lawyers say more than a hundred accusers who are planning legal action against Combs.
The plaintiffs’ attorney, Tony Buzbee, announced the planned trial at an Oct. 1 news conference and posted a 1-800 number for plaintiffs to call.
As before, Combs’ representatives have dismissed the latest lawsuits as “obvious attempts to garner publicity.” They said Combs and his legal team “have full confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the judicial process.”
Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, male or female,” she added.
The prosecutor says Combs, who was “acting strangely” and intoxicated, “directed” him to his “private office” before exposing himself to the alleged victim and grabbing his genitals through his pants.
The lawsuits allege that the plaintiffs believed they had been given drug-laced drinks before they were attacked.
Meanwhile, Combs’ attorneys told the 2nd Circuit in a filing Monday that he will renew his bail application in the lower court based on “significantly changed circumstances.”
They said the issues include “constitutional concerns arising from his conditions of confinement and evidence contained in recently produced discoveries.”
In a filing last week, prosecutors told the appeals court that judges denied bail after evidence showed Combs “used methodical and sophisticated means to silence and intimidate witnesses during the racketeering conspiracy and during the government’s investigation.”
Combs is currently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
