L.A. County sheriff investigating new claims that Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaulted a music producer
"Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is serving four years in federal prison for using prostitutes in "freak-offs," is under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in connection with new allegations of sexual assault. A record producer alleges Combs assaulted him on two occasions. The sheriff's Special Victims Unit initiated the probe because one of the incidents occurred in East Los Angeles, according to Nicole Nishida, a department spokeswoman. The producer reported the incidents to police in Largo, Fla. Florida-based music producer John Hay revealed in media interviews that he was the "John Doe" plaintiff from a civil lawsuit filed in July alleging assault."
"The lawsuit states that, in December 2020, the producer was at a warehouse in Los Angeles that housed some of Notorious B.I.G.'s clothing. The items were being donated to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later that year, when Biggie would eventually be inducted. Combs "provided drugs to everyone present. Everyone there was running around the warehouse and tripping on the drugs," the lawsuit alleges. Combs "started watching porn on his cell phone, grabbed one of Biggie's shirts off a rack, and began to masturbate with it in front of the plaintiff," the suit states."
"The producer, who was not named by law enforcement investigating the allegations, alleged he was subjected to sex acts in 2020 and 2021 while working on a remix project of music by Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. Christopher Wallace, which put him into contact with Bad Boy Records and company executive Combs. A spokesman for Combs did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment on the investigation."
Sean "Diddy" Combs is the subject of a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department probe after a record producer alleged two assaults in 2020 and 2021. One incident reportedly occurred in East Los Angeles and was reported to police in Largo, Florida; the producer later identified himself publicly as John Hay and as the plaintiff in a July civil lawsuit. The producer alleges he was subjected to sex acts while working on a remix project tied to Biggie Smalls' music and that Combs provided drugs and engaged in sexually explicit behavior at a December 2020 warehouse gathering. Combs' spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
