(New York, NY) -- And the hits just keep on coming for Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
A month after Combs was criminally charged for what prosecutors describe as a long-running scheme of sex trafficking and racketeering, he is being hit with six new lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault against men, women and a 16-year-old boy, according to CNN.
The suits were all filed anonymously by John Doe and Jane Doe plaintiffs in federal court in the Southern District of New York and allege rape, sexual assault, and the drugging of drinks.
“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process,” Combs’ attorneys told CNN in a statement. “In court, the truth will prevail that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
According to the suits, at least two of the alleged assaults took place at Combs’ White Parties between 1998 and 2006.
All of the complainants are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
In another complaint, a 19-year-old college student identified as Jane Doe, said she and a female friend were invited to a photo-shoot and an “exclusive” after-party at Combs’ hotel in 2004. According to the complaint, Combs became “more aggressive” and “ordered Ms. Doe’s friend to perform oral sex on him or else he would have them both killed.”
The new cases, filed in Manhattan federal court, are by five more alleged victims, including three men and a woman who was 19 years old at the time.
Combs is currently in federal custody in New York on counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He is awaiting his trial in May and has pleaded not guilty.
