针对美国嘻哈界传奇人物“吹牛老爹”库姆斯(Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs)又提起七项新诉讼,其中一项罪名是强奸13岁女孩。周一,他的律师再次申请保释,还抱怨“新一波宣传”影响其当事人获得公平刑事审判的权利。

上周日向州和联邦法院提起的诉讼中,四名男子和三名女子(均匿名)声称,过去20年曾在派对上遭到库姆斯性侵犯。

针对9月16日被捕后第二天联邦起诉书中对其性交易的指控,54岁的库姆斯拒绝认罪。指控称他多年来在同伙和雇员帮助下胁迫虐待女性,还通过敲诈,以及绑架、纵火和殴打等暴力手段迫使受害者保持沉默。

两名法官拒绝保释,目前库姆斯仍被监禁等待明年5月5日审判,针对相关裁决的上诉将提交至美国第二巡回上诉法院。

周日库姆斯的律师要求法官命令潜在证人及代表律师停止发表可能妨碍公平的言论,并申请了禁言令。

“如法院所知,库姆斯一直遭受潜在证人及律师在媒体上无休止的指控,”库姆斯的律师写道。“潜在证人及律师发表了很多煽动性的庭外言论,企图在媒体上抹杀库姆斯的人格。”

律师表示,最近有100多名原告计划对库姆斯提起诉讼。10月1日的新闻发布会上,原告律师托尼·布兹比宣布了诉讼计划,还公布了1-800号码供原告致电。

跟以前一样,库姆斯的代表律师指称最新诉讼“明显是哗众取宠”。他们表示,库姆斯和法律团队“对事实、法律辩护和司法程序公正充满信心”。

“不管是成年人还是未成年人,不管男性还是女性,库姆斯从未性侵犯任何人,”他们补充道。

周日的诉讼中声称,2000年9月曼哈顿音乐录影带大奖后,一名13岁女孩被豪华轿车司机邀请参加聚会,遭到“男性名人”强奸,之后被库姆斯强奸,当时被指认为“名人A”(男性)和“名人B”(女性)的两人旁观。

另一起诉讼指控,2022年在曼哈顿一家酒店的顶层公寓派对上,库姆斯曾性侵一名17岁男性。

诉讼中,原告认为遭性侵之前喝过掺有药物的饮料。

与此同时,周一库姆斯的律师在一份文件中告知第二巡回法院,将根据“重大情况变化”在下级法院重申申请保释。他们表示,相关问题包括“监禁条件以及最近披露证据引发的宪法问题”。

在上周提交的文件中,检察官告诉上诉法院,法官之所以拒绝保释是因为有证据表明库姆斯“在实施敲诈和接受政府调查期间,利用有条理且复杂的手段压迫恐吓证人。”(财富中文网)

Seven new lawsuits have been filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, including one alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl. They come as his lawyers tried again Monday to get him freed on bail, and complained that a “fresh wave of publicity” is endangering his right to a fair criminal trial.

In the lawsuits filed Sunday in state and federal courts, four men and three women, all anonymous, allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties over the last two decades.

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges contained in an indictment unsealed the day after his Sept. 16 arrest. Charges include allegations he coerced and abused women for years, aided by associates and employees, and silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.

He has remained incarcerated pending a May 5 trial after two judges denied bail in rulings being appealed to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Combs’ lawyers asked a judge Sunday to order potential witnesses and their lawyers to stop making statements that could prevent a fair trial, filing a gag order.

“As the Court is aware, Mr. Combs has been the target of an unending stream of allegations by prospective witnesses and their counsel in the press,” they wrote. “These prospective witnesses and their lawyers have made numerous inflammatory extrajudicial statements aimed at assassinating Mr. Combs’s character in the press.”

The latest lawsuits are drawn from what lawyers say are more than 100 accusers who are planning legal action against Combs. Plaintiffs’ lawyer Tony Buzbee announced the planned litigation at an Oct. 1 news conference and posted a 1-800 number for accusers to call.

As before, Combs’ representatives dismissed the latest lawsuits as “clear attempts to garner publicity.” They said Combs and his legal team “have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.”

Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman,” they added.

One of the lawsuits filed Sunday alleges that a 13-year-old girl who was invited to a party by a limousine driver after the Video Music Awards in Manhattan in September 2000 was raped by a “male celebrity” and then by Combs as individuals identified only as “Celebrity A,” a male, and “Celebrity B,” a female, watched.

Another lawsuit alleged that Combs sexually assaulted a 17-year-old male at a Manhattan hotel penthouse party in 2022.

In the lawsuits, it was alleged that the plaintiffs believed they had been fed drinks laced with drugs before they were assaulted.

Meanwhile, lawyers for Combs on Monday told the 2nd Circuit in a filing that he’ll renew his bail application before the lower court based on “significant changed circumstances.” They said the issues include “constitutional concerns stemming from his conditions of confinement and evidence contained in recently produced discovery.”

In a filing last week, prosecutors told the appeals court that judges denied bail after evidence showed Combs “used methodical and sophisticated means to silence and intimidate witnesses throughout the racketeering conspiracy and during the Government’s investigation.”
