Diddy hit with explosive new lawsuit days after being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering

A male escort has come forward with a bombshell lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, days after the mogul was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering.

It seems Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal battles may be far from over.

The rap mogul has been hit with an explosive new alleged sex scandal just days after he was acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.

A male escort by the name of Clayton Howard is suing him and his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, for sex trafficking and other alleged crimes when he alleges he was hired to participate in their “freak offs” years ago, TMZ reports.

Among the shocking allegations in the civil lawsuit filed against the pair, Howard claims the singer gave him a sexually transmitted disease and later aborted a pregnancy with him without his knowledge.

The male escort says Ventura, who became Combs’ main accuser in his trail, was not a victim but rather an “engaged participant”.

“Ventura was not merely a victim forced into sexual encounters with male escorts, but rather an active and engaged participant who willingly manipulated and exploited others, including Plaintiff, to satisfy the sexually depraved desires of Defendant Combs and herself,” the lawsuit reads in part.

In the documents, Howard – who operated under the alias “Dave” – claims he was trafficked across US state lines from as far back as 2009 to participate in “freak-offs” involving the pair. He says this lasted for eight years.

During that time, he claims he was “drugged”, “manipulated” and forced into degrading acts while having unprotected sex. Among those acts, Howard claims Ventura “commanded him to masturbate for hours”, which he said left his penis “bruised and swollen”.

He also accused her of forcing “herself upon him during her menstrual cycle against his will”, as well as filming him without his consent.

As for Combs, Howard alleges that he “implied threats of violence” and once threatened to “pistol whip” him if he didn’t comply.

According to the court papers, Howard is seeking compensation for psychological injury, emotional distress, medical bills and loss of income.

The lawsuit comes days after Diddy was spared life behind bars when a jury found him not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy following a seven-week trial in Manhattan.

However, Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, charges of which can carry a 10-year prison sentence each.

The rapper will remain behind bars awaiting sentencing after his bail application was rejected by the judge.

Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs had shown a “disregard for the rule of law and a propensity of violence” during the bail hearing.

He proposed a sentencing date of October 3.

Combs has been incarcerated in Brooklyn since his arrest in September.
