A lawyer representing more than 100 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s alleged abuse victims has warned that a ” lot of names” of “powerful” individuals are about to be exposed as accomplices in the rap music mogul’s horrific crimes.
During a Tuesday press conference in Houston, Texas, attorney Tony Buzbee revealed that a “long list” of “many powerful people” implicated in Diddy’s crimes will be made public.
“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors,” he said.
“We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”
Buzbee is representing 120 victims, 25 of whom were minors.
The youngest victim was a 9-year-old boy, the lawyer revealed.
The victims accuse Combs and his powerful accomplices of assaulting, sexually abusing, and exploiting them.
Combs is accused of various crimes related to allegedly debaucherous parties involving drugs, alcohol, and non-consensual sex.
He was arrested on September 16, 2024, in New York.
Federal prosecutors charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, and interstate transportation for prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
However, Diddy’s bail was denied and he remains in custody as investigations expand.
During the press conference, Buzbee revealed that Combs’s accomplices are well-known “powerful people” and high-powered individuals in the banking and pharmaceutical industries.
“These defendants will not only include individuals but will also include corporate entities that ultimately profited off this culture and behavior,” said Buzbee.
“I’m looking at banks, pharmaceutical companies, hotels.”
“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names,” Buzbee added.
“It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure — we are right before we do that.”
“The names will shock you,” he promised.
The attorney said that those powerful people involved in the allegations encouraged the abuse at Diddy’s parties.
The parties go as far back as 1991 and mostly occurred in California, New York, Georgia, and Florida.
The lawyer went through some of the horrifying stories of alleged victims that he said were being corroborated for a lawsuit.
Meanwhile, Buzbee offered some advice for those alleged accomplices who are likely sweating bullets right now.
“These people who know who they are should just come forward now,” he continued.
“I would imagine that as we speak here, there are a myriad of people who are very nervous.
“You can’t hide skeletons in the closet forever.
“I would expect there are many people out there right now who are desperately searching their memories as they delete their texts and data.”
Buzbee revealed that one of the alleged victims was just 9 years old at the time of the horrific abuse.
“There was a concerted effort to keep this quiet,” Buzbee said.
“But the silence is about to end.”
WATCH:
The legal filings are expected to begin within 30 days.
The lawsuits will target not only Combs but also those individuals and corporations accused of aiding in or covering up the abuse.
