New sexual assault claims against Sean 'Diddy' Combs

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating a sexual battery allegation against Sean "Diddy" Combs.

A male publicist and music producer has alleged that in 2020, Combs exposed himself while masturbating under a shirt, and then asked him to assist.

According to the police report, the producer said he did not respond, and that Combs continued before throwing the shirt at him.

The accuser, whose name has been edited out of the document, said he did not tell anyone for several years because he felt embarrassed.

He came forward to police in a town in Florida in September, shortly after Combs was convicted on prostitution-related charges.

The LA County Sheriff’s Department says it received an official copy of the report from the Florida department on Friday.

An attorney for the hip hop mogul said he "categorically denies as false and defamatory all claims that he sexually abused anyone."

Combs is currently serving a four-year prison sentence.

He was convicted in July of flying his girlfriends and male sex workers around the country to engage in drug-fuelled sexual encounters in multiple places over many years.

However, he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life.

He is set to be released in May 2028, though he can earn reductions in his time behind bars through his participation in substance abuse treatment and other prison programmes.
