A new civil lawsuit filed in a U.S. court on June 9, 2026 names Sean “Diddy” Combs as a defendant in an alleged sexual assault case involving a male plaintiff. The plaintiff claims the incident occurred when he was a minor during an event hosted by Combs, and is seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress, physical harm, and trauma. This filing adds to several existing civil cases and federal investigations involving the music mogul. Combs’ legal representatives have consistently denied all misconduct allegations. No court date has been set yet, and Combs’ legal team is expected to respond formally in the coming days.
