Sean Combs sexual misconduct allegations
American rapper and record producer Sean Combs, known professionally as Diddy (formerly Puff Daddy and P. Diddy), has faced repeated accusations of sexual misconduct for incidents dating from 1990 to 2023. He has faced at least 10 civil lawsuits related to abuse and sexual misconduct, and has also faced accusations of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and sexual harassment. He pleaded not guilty to all of his federal criminal charges from 2024. Between November and December 2023, Combs was accused of sexual misconduct by four women including his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who alleged that she had been raped, trafficked, and physically assaulted by Combs multiple times over a period of ten years.
In May 2025, Combs was criminally tried for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs was found not guilty in all but two transportation charges, for which he was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison and a $500,000 fine.
As of October 2025, over 70 civil complaints have been filed against Combs that contain allegations of sexual misconduct.
