SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 4– In May 2024 Crystal McKinney sued Sean Combs for sexual assault under the NYC Gender Motivated Violence in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The suit recounts Combs inviting McKinney to Cipriani Downtown - in 2003 - then to his studio on West 44th Street where he drugged and assaulted her, according to the complaint.
On October 20, Jane Doe sued Combs alleging she was raped in 2000 at the age of thirteen. On Sunday, December 8 she / the Buzbee firm filed an amended complaint that
"Defendant Sean Combs (a/k/a “P. Diddy,” a/k/a “Puff Daddy,” a/k/a “Diddy,” a/k/a “PD,” and a/k/a “Love”), along with his longtime friend and collaborator Shawn Carter (a/k/a “JayZ”), drugged and raped a thirteen-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards.
