Diddy is facing another wave of legal trouble after the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced on Monday November 17 that it is investigating a new sexual battery allegation against him. The music mogul, who is currently serving a four year federal sentence for prostitution related convictions, was transferred to Fort Dix in October. His mugshot went viral shortly after his arrival.
According to NBC News, a male music producer and publicist told police that he was invited to a 2020 photo shoot at a warehouse in Los Angeles. His name is redacted in the police report. The man alleges that once he arrived, Sean Combs exposed himself and began masturbating before telling him to assist. The producer also claims Combs threw a dirty shirt at him. He said he stayed silent for years because he felt embarrassed, but eventually reported the incident to police in Largo, Florida on September 20.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that it received the Florida report on Friday and has now launched an investigation. Combs’ attorney did not respond to a request for comment from the Associated Press.
The report includes another disturbing allegation from March 2021. In that account, the accuser claims two men covered his head before Combs entered the room and called him a snitch. NBC News states this incident was also reported to authorities.
Combs was convicted in July of flying girlfriends and male sex workers across the country for drug fueled sexual encounters. These actions allegedly occurred over many years. He was acquitted of more severe sex trafficking and racketeering charges that carried potential life sentences.
He was originally scheduled for release in May 2028, but Page Six recently reported that his date has been moved to June 4, 2028. While serving his sentence, he can earn reductions through substance abuse treatment and other programs. Recent reports indicate he is working in the Fort Dix prison chapel and participating in an intensive rehabilitation program.
