(NewsNation) — A college student is suing music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing him of abusing and sexually assaulting her over several years in the 1990s.

It is the seventh lawsuit from women who say Combs sexually assaulted them and comes on the heels of a video showing Combs beating his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel. Combs apologized for the video even as women have continued to come forward with accusations of sexual abuse and violence.

April Lampros, now 51, was a college student in New York in the 1990s when she met Combs and told him her ambitions of working in fashion.

The lawsuit alleges Combs took her to his music studio to impress her multiple times and “love-bombed” her with flowers and gifts. After a period of months, he allegedly invited her to an exclusive party that included Usher, Craig Mack and the Notorious B.I.G. as guests. There, Lampros said the loving relationship turned aggressively sexual and abusive.

Lampros said Combs threatened to harm her if she did not do what he said and would lose his temper if she spoke with other men. She said he also directed her to keep silent about their relationship because he didn’t want anyone to know he was dating a white woman.

The lawsuit describes four sexual encounters, including allegations that Combs coerced Lampros into drinking and then proceeded to rape her in a hotel.

“Months after the first rape, Mr. Combs pursued Ms. Lampros. He sent her gifts, cards, and flowers and used his power and access to music industry events to lure Ms. Lampros back to him,” the lawsuit says.

After Lampros, who is described as “naive” in the filing, gave Combs a second chance, the aggressive and coercive behavior continued.

In another incident, Lampros said Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him in a public parking garage in view of a parking attendant.

Lampros also said Combs forced her to take ecstasy by shoving it down her throat before forcing her to have sex with another woman before he raped her. She said that woman got her fired from her job at a restaurant by claiming Lampros tried to poison her, due to resentment over having been forced to have sex with Lampros.

Lampros ended the relationship then, in 1998, but said she had another encounter with Combs a few years later in which she initially rejected his advances.

After rejecting Combs, Lampros said he badgered her until she agreed to see him, at which point he began kissing and touching her without consent. The lawsuit also alleges that Combs recorded himself having sex with Lampros without her consent and showed the video to multiple people.
