A woman has sued Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York federal court, alleging he and his bodyguard drugged, bound and violently raped her decades ago then later showed video of the attack to others.

The lawsuit was filed by attorney Gloria Allred, one of the nation’s best-known litigators in sexual abuse cases, on behalf of Thalia Graves, the former girlfriend of a business associate of Combs, who says she was attacked in 2001. It comes a week after federal prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment against Combs on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution.

With the 54-year-old mogul in federal custody since his arrest Sept. 16, the woman becomes the 11th person to accuse Combs of sexual assault in civil litigation since his former girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, sued him last year.

The lawsuit alleges she was given a drink “likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her to briefly lose consciousness.” She alleges that she awoke to find herself “bound and restrained.” ...............................................

1. Such depravity. All the people that covered up for him should be prosecuted

No way you get away with this for so long without people covering it up. His Personal assistant is probably cooperating so that she doesn’t become Ghislaine Maxwell.

3. "Behind every Al Fayed or Diddy, there is a small army of enablers: this column is dedicated to them"

I’m afraid I shrieked when I read that Michael Cole – longterm publicist for the late former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed – cannot come to the phone these days. If you covered a certain phase of British public life, you would know that Michael Cole could always come to the phone. Coming to the phone was what Michael Cole did, always to emit some hugely pompous shitblast in defence of his master, who is now the subject of multiple rape and sexual assault allegations. Alas, Michael is currently so shocked that no emission has been forthcoming. Instead, his wife was deployed to inform the press that Michael “is not giving any interviews or talking at the moment”. However, she did claim he found the women’s allegations “terribly distressing” and that “of course” he had been unaware of all of it.
...
But then, it isn’t remarkable – and it is unfair to single out Michael. The Times yesterday published a useful rundown of Fayed’s people, from the mouthpieces, lawyers and security henchmen to the doctors who performed “purity examinations” on young female PAs. When you see the vast scale of it all, “entourage” sounds too wan a word for this motley crew of enablers, enforcers and concealers, and for all the other motley crews that surrounded “larger than life” men, from Michael Jackson to Harvey Weinstein to Jimmy Savile. I prefer to think of such set-ups as the sex-case industrial complex.
...
I wasn’t surprised that Cassie had long been telling the truth, despite Diddy’s serial denials. What took my breath away was what the location implied – the sheer number of people who must have been involved in justice not being served. What exactly is the process for covering up a filmed incident of serious assault by an international star in the corridor of a hotel owned by a major international chain? Let’s just say I imagine Diddy’s lot are quite familiar with it. But think of the hotel side. There are CCTV images – it is a whole department’s job to monitor CCTV. Were the management informed? Where were the police? Quite the mystery.

In Combs’s camp, you can only guess at how many of the sex-case industrial complex were called upon to do their special designated job to make it go away. Lawyers, NDA experts, crisis PRs – who knows the precise combination of moving parts, but they were presumably all working in perfect symphony to ensure that this ghastly footage never went anywhere until CNN published it in May, a staggering eight years after it occurred. Diddy’s powers were beginning to desert him – but even weeks before, a raid as he was about to board his private jet had resulted in the arrest of only one individual for possession of drugs. Not Diddy, you understand, but a former college basketball star player who was part of his entourage. “How did a college hooper become Diddy’s alleged drug mule?” ran a New York magazine headline.
