A new lawsuit filed in California alleges that Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted a former child actor at a Hollywood Hills networking event in May 2007. The unidentified plaintiff claims Combs' conduct was extreme and caused severe emotional distress. This lawsuit comes as Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence for prostitution-related offenses, having been convicted last year on lesser charges after being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. A spokesperson for Combs has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them "false and ridiculous" and part of a pattern of baseless claims. The lawsuit adds to a growing number of civil claims filed against the hip-hop mogul.
