P Diddy and son Justin accused of rape in new lawsuit
P Diddy's sex-trafficking trial is listening to the defence's closing arguments today, but now the Bad Boy star has been accused of rape in a new lawsuit
P Diddy and his son, Justin Combs, have been accused of rape in a new lawsuit. The rapper's current trial, in which he is accused of sex-trafficking, is being presented with the defence's closing arguments today, but Diddy, real name Sean Combs, 55, faces fresh accusations, this time, along with his son.
As per the documents obtained by the Mirror US, a Louisiana woman claims she connected with Justin, 33, on Snapchat, before being invited to California where she was told she could further her career in the entertainment industry. She has accused Justin of luring her to his Los Angeles mansion in 2017 to be raped by his father and two other 'masked men.' The woman alleges she was offered alcohol, pills and marijuana before the three men arrived at the home, one of whom she says she believed was Diddy.
The rape was said to occur for several hours. Diddy's lawyer denies the allegations.
Diddy's team told the Mirror US, 'No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court."
It comes as the Tell Me star's bombshell sex trafficking trial nears it's end. Prosecutors finished their closing arguments on Thursday after five hours. Yesterday, the prosecution argued to the jury that Combs is the "leader of a criminal enterprise", who used violence and fear in "brutal crimes"
The defence's closing arguments have begun today as defence attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told the jury it's important to remember that none of the alleged victims called the police.
Instead, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for $30m (£22m), of which she ended up winning $20m. The federal case was spurred by that lawsuit, so if Combs wasn't rich, there would be no federal criminal trial, he said.
"He's a self-made successful black entrepreneur," he added, saying: "He's built wonderful, sophisticated businesses."
Agnifilo also reminded the jury that Jane - an ex-girlfriend of Combs who testified against him under a pseudonym - is still living in a house that Combs pays for.
"Jane came here and testified against him…I don't know what she's doing today, but whatever she's doing it's in a house he paid for. He takes care of people," Agnifilo added.
Diddy was joined in court today by Justin and his twin daughters, who have supported their father in the final days of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial following an emotional day yesterday.
On Thursday, Jessie and D'Lila stood beside the rapper as they sent support for the disgraced mogul during the trial's closing arguments.
Early on in the trial, the twins were present to support Diddy, even sharing a social media post saying, 'The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiralled into absurdity on social media.'
Diddy denies any wrongdoing in the federal charges brought against him.

What to know about the trial Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo completed his closing arguments saying the government failed to prove any allegations of racketering charges filed against Combs. Agnifilo said the defense made no attempt to dispute allegations that Sean 'Diddy' Combs battered then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. 'We own the domestic violence — I hope you guys know that,' he said as he began his closing. Despite acknowledging the physical abuse, Agnifilo described the relationship between Combs and Ventura as 'a great modern love story.' Judge Subramanian said the jury would be charged on Monday and would then begin deliberations. Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Diddy and son Justin Combs accused of 'brutal gang rape' in new lawsuit as rapper's trial enters final stages
Diddy and his son Justin Combs, whom he shares with Misa Hylton, were accused of brutal gang rape by a Louisiana woman in a shocking new lawsuit. The documents, obtained by Page Six, allege that Justin, 31, lured the woman, whom he met on Snapchat in 2017, out to California under the promise of helping her career in the entertainment industry. When she arrived, she claimed she was plied with drugs and alcohol by Justin before three 'masked men' arrived to the home to brutally gang rape her for several hours. She claimed one of the men was Diddy, 55. In the documents, she said she was able to identify the music mogul by his 'mannerisms,' and alleged that Justin called him 'Pops.' Diddy's attorney denies any wrongdoing. 'No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,' a lawyer for the rapper said in a statement to 'We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.' The woman claims when she arrived in LA, she was picked up by a driver and taken to a home where she allegedly stayed the first night with Justin - where they 'relaxed' and 'talked.' She claims he then refused to let her leave the home. She claims on one of the days he offered her alcohol, pills or 'poppers' and weed that she believed to be laced. After taking the drugs, she alleges three masked men arrived at the home, one of whom was allegedly Diddy. The woman claims she was escorted to a bedroom and told: 'You better let this happen. Or else.' She alleges each man took turns raping her from late Saturday to around midafternoon on Sunday - before she was allegedly taken back to the airport on Monday. The woman - named as Jane Doe in the suit - says she suffered severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, physical injury and emotional injury and trauma from the ordeal. has contacted representatives for Justin Combs for comment but has yet to hear back. Combs was portrayed in his lawyer's closing argument on Friday as the victim of an overzealous prosecution that tried to turn the recreational use of drugs and a swinger lifestyle into a racketeering conspiracy that could put the music mogul behind bars for life. When she arrived, she claimed she was plied with drugs and alcohol by Justin before three 'masked men' arrived to the home to brutally gang rape her for several hours. She claimed one of the men was Diddy, 55 - Diddy's attorney denies the claims Attorney Marc Agnifilo mocked the government's case against Combs and belittled the agents who seized hundreds of bottles of Astroglide lubricant and baby oil at his properties as he began a presentation expected to last several hours. 'Way to go, fellas,' Agnifilo said of the agents. He said prosecutors had 'badly exaggerated' evidence of the swinger lifestyle and threesomes to combine it with recreational drug use and call it a racketeering conspiracy. 'He did not do the things he's charged with. He didn't do racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking,' the lawyer said. Agnifilo also called Combs´ prosecution a 'fake trial' and ridiculed the notion that he engaged in racketeering. 'Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?' Agnifilo asked. 'Did any witness get on that witness stand and say yes, I was part of a racketeering enterprise - I engaged in racketeering?' No, Agnifilo argued, telling jurors that those accusations were a figment of the prosecution´s imagination. Combs´ family, including six of his children and his mother, were in the audience for the closing. All his life Combs has taken care of people, Agnifilo said, including the ex-girlfriend who testified under the pseudonym Jane, whose rent he´s paying. 'I don´t know what Jane is doing today,' Agnifilo said. 'But she´s doing it in a house he´s paying for.' Referring to lawsuits filed by Combs´ accusers, he said: 'This isn´t about crime. It´s about money. This is about money.' Agnifilo noted that Combs' former longtime girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023. Combs settled with her the next day for $20 million, but the allegations in the lawsuit prompted federal law enforcement to open the criminal investigation that led to his arrest. 'If you had to pick a winner in this whole thing, it´s hard not to pick Cassie,' Agnifilo said. Cassie and Jane both testified during the trial that they were coerced repeatedly by Combs to perform in drug-fueled dayslong sex marathons with male sex workers while Combs watched, directed, masturbated and sometimes filmed the encounters. Prosecutors, he argued, have invaded Combs´ bedroom and his most intimate personal affairs. 'Where´s the crime scene? It´s your sex life,' Agnifilo said. He also mocked the prosecution´s assertion that Combs and his underlings had engaged in hundreds of racketeering acts and their suggestion that many of his so-called freak-offs and 'hotel nights' were crimes. If that´s so, he said, 'we need a bigger roll of crime scene tape,' a reference to a famous line from the movie 'Jaws.' Agnifilo reiterated that the defense 'owns' the fact that Combs was violent, but he argued that behavior does not justify the grave charges he faces. He said Combs and Cassie had a 'loving, beautiful relationship,' albeit a 'complicated' one. 'If racketeering conspiracy had an opposite, it would be their relationship ... they were deeply in love with each other,' Agnifilo said. If convicted, Combs could face a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life. He did not testify during the trial that is in its seventh week. After Agnifilo completes his closing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey was expected to deliver a rebuttal summation before the judge reads the law to the jury, which is not expected to begin deliberations until Monday.
