Four women have recently accused rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexual assault. The latest did so Wednesday, identified in court documents as Jane Doe. The lawsuit also includes former Bad Boy Entertainment President Harve Pierre and a third individual.
The woman claimed that Combs flew her to his New York studio in 2003 and gave her large quantities of drugs and alcohol before he and two other men took turns raping her.
"As alleged in the complaint, Defendants preyed on a vulnerable high school teenager as part of a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying her with drugs and alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang raped by the three individual defendants at Mr. Combs' studio," the attorneys said in a conversation with the BBC.

Regarding the accusations, the rapper maintained that he did not commit any of the crimes. Combs highlighted that he has seen the lawsuits in recent day, though he did not express any opinion. In addition, he claimed that the accusers' intention is to get money.
"For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.” Combs insisted.
The latest accusation comes in addition to three others in recent months. The first, for rape and sex trafficking, was filed, according to the BBC, by R&B singer Casandra Ventura, known as "Cassie." The two parties reached an out-of-court settlement the day after the complaint was filed.
