Sean “Diddy” Combs has been charged with federal offenses related to sex trafficking and racketeering after his arrest on September 16.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing over 100 alleged victims, claims there are additional perpetrators involved in the crimes, stating that a list of names will be revealed in due time.
“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names,” Buzbee said.
“It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure — that we’re right before we do that,” Buzbee added.
“The names will shock you,” he said.
The alleged abuse spans multiple states and dates back to 1991, with claims of victims discovering illegal drugs in their systems after attending Combs’ parties.
Combs denied all allegations and his legal team described them as “meritless.”
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized,” Combs’ attorney Erica Wolff said, “he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Wolff added.
Combs has remained in detention after failed bail attempts, with his next court appearance set for October 9.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation,” Wolff said.
