Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003, marking the fourth sexual assault allegation lodged against the producer in recent weeks.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was flown on a private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York, where she was raped by three people, including Combs and Harve Pierre, the president of Bad Boy Entertainment.

According to the suit, Combs and his associates plied her with “copious amounts” of drugs and alcohol. The suit alleges that Combs raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness, and that Combs then watched as a third man also raped her.

    I’m with you on this. Evidence should be required before any person on this planet is subject to infamy, time in a cage, or death.

    The investigation should be quiet until evidence is collected that is sufficient for a charge in the first place.

    I don’t know this man, I’m not a fan of his work, there is no bias in me for or against him. When we’re talking about upending a persons life, evidence should be everything.

      Makeing the accusations public can help gather converting evidence. People will know if they have some information in support or defence of the allegations that they can come forward.

      It also makes it easier for others that have been a victim of a similar crime by the accused and his associates. It’s likely if this crime happened, it happened more than once and to many victims.
