Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a wave of new sexual assault and rape accusations.

NBC News has obtained four new civil lawsuits filed Sunday in the Southern District of New York by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee. The suits do not name any of the plaintiffs.

Two of the suits, filed on behalf of two men, allege Combs sexually assaulted them in 2022 in separate incidents. One suit accuses Combs of raping a woman in 2000 when she was 13 years old. The fourth alleges Combs raped a woman in 2022.

Combs is also accused of drugging one of the men, the 13-year-old girl and the woman, according to the suits.

Buzbee told NBC News he plans to file a total of seven suits Sunday night.

“We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves, and will work to see that justice is done,” Buzbee said in a statement Sunday. “We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”

Combs’ team did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment.

The latest civil suits come less than a week after Buzbee filed six other suits against the embattled music mogul.

Combs, via his attorneys, denied all of those accusations in a statement to NBC News last week.

“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process,” the statement said. “In court, the truth will prevail that Mr. Combs has never sexually assault anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”

Combs is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges. His criminal trial has been set to start May 5.

In a hearing earlier this month, federal prosecutors stated that they are going through data on over 90 devices belonging to Combs that were seized at his properties in raids this year and when he was arrested in New York.

The latest lawsuits come just days after Combs’ legal team filed a motion requesting that his accusers in the federal sex trafficking case be publicly identified so he can prepare a proper defense.

Combs is continuing to fight his bail denial, with his attorneys recently filing an appeal in New York’s federal appeals court.

In the months since his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit against him — which was immediately settled — several individuals have sued Combs including Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, who alleged that Combs groped, assaulted and imprisoned her and threatened her life.

Combs has denied all the allegations against him.
