(NewsNation) — A Houston lawyer says he is representing 120 people who say they have experienced sexual misconduct by Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Attorney Tony Buzbee says he expects his clients to file lawsuits within the next 30 days.
Buzbee said the alleged victims are 60 men and 60 women, of whom 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. The youngest, Buzbee said, was 9.
“I imagine there’s a myriad of people who are nervous,” Buzbee said. “You can’t hide skeletons in the closet forever.”
Erica Wolff, Combs’ lawyer, said in a statement to NewsNation that the rap mogul “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Wolff said in a statement.
Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in court for a status conference on Oct. 9.
