Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of sexually abusing 25 minors – including a 9-year-old – in a horrific press conference

Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused of sexually abusing 25 minors – including a 9-year-old – during a shocking press conference.

Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee announced Tuesday that he is representing 120 people in civil lawsuits over allegations spanning the past three decades.

“I want to focus on the age of these victims. When we talk about the age of these victims at the time of the behavior, it is shocking,” Buzbee warned.

Buzbee claimed that Diddy's youngest victim was just nine years old when the disgraced rapper sexually assaulted her.

“This person, who was 9 years old at the time, was taken to an audition at Bad Boy Records in New York City, other boys were also there to audition,” Buzbee told reporters.

According to Buzbee, all of the children sought a career in television or the music industry with the promise of “I'll make you a star.”

“This individual was allegedly sexually abused by Sean Combs and several other people in the studio with the promise of getting both his parents and himself a record deal,” he continued.

Buzbee told other similar stories, claiming that Combs once forced another minor to perform “oral sex” on him in exchange for a record deal.

“Another instance, a then 15-year-old individual, was flown to New York City to attend a party where she was drugged and then allegedly taken to a private room in the presence of Mr. Combs,” Buzbee continued. “This woman was raped and then other people took turns raping her.”

The lawyer further noted that the group of 120 accusers was “evenly divided between men and women.”

“We will expose the enablers who enabled this behavior behind closed doors. We will investigate this matter regardless of who the evidence involves,” Buzbee said.

“As Mr. Combs' legal team has emphasized, he cannot respond to every unfounded accusation that has become a reckless media circus,” it said in a statement.

“Nevertheless, Mr. Combs strongly and categorically denies as false and defamatory any allegation that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court as lawsuits are filed and served, with the truth determined based on evidence rather than speculation.”

Combs is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn.
