Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a sexual battery allegation against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related convictions.

Details of the Allegation

A male music producer and publicist claims he was invited in late 2020 to a photo shoot at a Los Angeles warehouse. Upon arrival, Combs allegedly exposed himself, demanded a sex act, and threw a dirty shirt at him, according to a police report.

The accuser, whose name is redacted, did not report the incident for several years due to embarrassment. He reported it to police in Largo, Florida, in September, shortly after Diddy’s conviction on other charges.

Diddy was convicted in July of charges related to drug-fueled sexual encounters with his partners and male sex workers but was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He is slated for release in May 2028 but may reduce his sentence through rehabilitation programs.

The report also includes a separate incident from March 2021, where the accuser claims he was assaulted after being restrained by two men who called him a snitch.

Response and Investigation Updates

Diddy’s lawyer did not respond to inquiries regarding the latest allegations from The Associated Press. The Las Angeles County Sheriff’s Department received an official report from Florida and plans to investigate further.

The late rapper Notorious B.I.G., whose real name was Christopher Wallace, worked with Combs before being fatally shot in Los Angeles in 1997.

What is the nature of the allegation?

The allegation involves sexual battery against Sean Combs.

When did the incident reportedly occur?

The incident is claimed to have happened in late 2020.

Diddy is serving a four-year sentence for prostitution-related crimes.
