Sean “Diddy” Combs Faces New Civil Suit Alleging 2007 Sexual Assault of Former Child Actor

6/10/2026, 10:18:19 PM

2007 Hollywood Hills Assault

A civil complaint filed June 8, 2026 accuses Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting an unidentified former child actor, John Doe, at a Hollywood Hills event in May 2007. The filing says Combs led the minor to a private back-room, gave him a drink, then fondled his genitalia and performed oral sex while touching himself, despite the plaintiff’s discomfort.

Legal Background

Combs serves a 50-month term for two Mann Act transportation counts after a 2025 New York trial that acquitted him of racketeering and sex-trafficking. Since his 2024 arrest, he has been named in “dozens” of civil suits alleging sexual misconduct; the new filing adds to that list.

Parties & Claims

John Doe alleges sexual assault, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent supervision of a minor, and false imprisonment. He also sues several talent agents for failing to provide a chaperone or otherwise protect him from unsupervised adult contact.

Official Response

Spokesperson Juda Engelmayer called the claims “false and ridiculous,” labeled the plaintiff a “hater” seeking a “money gravy train,” and asserted that Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone—including any child.” He said the allegations will be disproved in court.

Plaintiff’s Allegations

The complaint labels Combs’ conduct “outrageous” and “intended to terrorize,” and blames the agents for not arranging a chaperone or ensuring guardian presence, leaving the minor exposed to unsupervised adult interaction.

Conflicts & Gaps

The filing does not state the plaintiff’s exact age, only that he was under 18. The number of prior suits remains vague beyond “dozens.” The beverage’s nature and effect are described only generally.

Verbatim Quotes

  • “Defendant Combs' conduct ... was outrageous, intended to terrorize and cause him emotional distress, and did in fact cause him emotional distress. This assault was so extreme as to go beyond the bound of decency and be regarded intolerable by civilized society,” — Complaint
  • “Then, Defendant Combs pulled down Plaintiff's pants and underwear and began to fondle Plaintiff's genitalia all while Combs was simultaneously touching himself. Defendant Combs then performed oral copulation on the minor Plaintiff while continuing to touch himself,” — Complaint
  • “He's just another hater in a long list of people trying to get in on the money gravy train encouraged by personal injury lawyers.” — Juda Engelmayer, spokesperson for Sean “Diddy” Combs
  • “Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — and that includes any child! These allegations will be disproved like all the rest.” — Juda Engelmayer, spokesperson for Sean “Diddy” Combs

Potential Implications

A victory for the plaintiff could add civil liability to Combs’ existing sentence and shape settlement approaches in his broader litigation. The case also highlights gaps in industry protections for minors, potentially prompting stricter oversight of talent-agency practices.
