Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been accused of rape again. A woman filed a complaint on Thursday, a day after the rapper had already reached a settlement with his ex Cassie in another abuse case.
Combs, 54, allegedly drugged and raped the woman in 1991. She was studying in New York at the time. According to the woman, the artist also made images of the incident. He would have shown this to others in the music world.
“The sexual assault and the distribution of images of it caused her to experience overwhelming feelings of humiliation, shame and constant concern about who was watching,” the woman’s lawyers wrote.
A spokesman for Combs said the complaint was “fabricated and lacking credibility.”
Last week the artist reached a settlement with singer Cassie. The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship for more than ten years. The singer said the rapper beat her during their relationship and forced her to have sex with others while he filmed it. Details of the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
More charges against stars
The complaint follows numerous lawsuits in the entertainment industry. Actors Jamie Foxx and Cuba Gooding Jr., among others, were recently accused of sexual abuse.
It is no coincidence that all these things came out in short succession. Last year, the Adult Survivors Act came into effect in the US state of New York. Thanks to this law, victims of sexual abuse could still file a complaint, even if the case had now expired.
The victims were given one year to do this. The law expires on Friday. More than 2,500 charges have been filed, it writes The Guardian.
