Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is serving four years in federal prison for using prostitutes in "freak-offs," is under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in connection with new allegations of sexual assault. A record producer alleges Combs assaulted him on two occasions.
The sheriff's Special Victims Unit initiated the probe because one of the incidents occurred in East Los Angeles, according to Nicole Nishida, a department spokeswoman. The producer reported the allegations to police in Largo, Fla.
Florida-based music producer John Hay revealed in media interviews that he was the “John Doe” plaintiff from a civil lawsuit filed in July alleging assault.
The producer, who was not named by law enforcement investigating the allegations, alleged he was subjected to sex acts in 2020 and 2021 while working on a remix project of music by Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. Christopher Wallace, which put him into contact with Bad Boy Records and company executive Combs.
Combs' attorney responded in a media statement.
SEAN “DIDDY” Combs is currently serving four years in a federal penitentiary.
