New lawsuits have been filed against Sean (Diddy) Combs, which include allegations that he and an unnamed “male celebrity” raped a 13-year-old girl who had been drugged, as an unnamed “female celebrity” watched.

The accusers are part of what their lawyers say is a group of more than 100 alleged victims in the process of taking legal action against Combs in the wake of his sex trafficking arrest last month.

The Buzbee Law Firm filed five new suits in the Southern District of New York on Sunday night. Two more suits were also filed in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, respectively.

13-year-old ‘fit what Diddy was looking for’ 

One of the suits comes from a Jane Doe who was 13 years old on or around Sept. 7, 2000, when she tried to attend the MTV Video Music Awards. She couldn’t get in to the awards show without a ticket, but approached several limousine drivers to see if they could help her to attend an after-party. 

One of the limousine drivers she spoke to claimed to work for Combs. He told her that Combs liked younger girls and said she “fit what Diddy was looking for,” inviting her to an after-party.

When the plaintiff arrived at the after-party, two men asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement, saying she could not discuss what would happen that night. 

After one drink, the plaintiff alleged that she “began to feel woozy and lightheaded” and made her way to an empty bedroom to lie down. The lawsuit contains an “actual” exemplary container that Combs and members of his team allegedly used to insert GHB into alcoholic drinks.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tough Bronx persona is under fresh scrutiny with a resurfaced childhood nickname from her suburban upstate New York upbringing casting doubt on that publicly portrayed image. The progressive champion’s latest spat with President Donald Trump over the Iran strikes again called into question her true upbringing when she declared on X she was a “Bronx girl" to make her a point against the president. The 35-year-old congresswoman wrote in part on X: "I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully," she said, referring to the president’s upbringing in Queens as she called for his impeachment over his decision to bypass Congress in authorizing U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx but moved to Yorktown – which is nearly an hour outside New York City -- when she was 5 years old and went on to attend Yorktown High School where she graduated in 2007. She was considered an accomplished student there and well thought of by teacher Michael Blueglass, according to a 2018 report by local media outlet Halston Media News. “There, known by students and staff as ‘Sandy,’ she was a member of the Science Research Program taught by Michael Blueglass," the report states. “She was amazing," Blueglass said, per the report. “Aside from her winning one of the top spots and going to the [Intel International Science and Engineering Fair], she was just one of the most amazing presenters in all of the years I've been at Yorktown. Her ability to take complex information and explain it to all different levels of people was fantastic." After high school, Ocasio-Cortez attended Boston University, where she majored in economics and international relations, per the report. Ocasio-Cortez’s “Sandy" nickname — which carries a more suburban and preppy tone — appears to undercut her politically crafted image as a tough, inner-city fighter, one she has portrayed since her famous 2018 congressional campaign where she eventually ousted former 10-terms Congressman Joe Crowley. New York GOP Assemblyman Matt Slater, who now represents Yorktown, added to the scrutiny of Ocasio-Cortez’s persona in the wake of her brash with Trump and released images of Ocasio-Cortez from his high school yearbook. He claimed he and the rising Democratic star attended Yorktown High School at the same time when she was a freshman and he was a senior. "I saw the attacks on the president and her [Ocasio-Cortez] claims that she's a big, tough Bronx girl," said Slater. "To sit there and say that she’s a Bronx girl is just patently ridiculous." "Everybody in our community knows this is just a bold-face lie," said Slater on "Fox & Friends First" last week. "She grew up in Yorktown, she was on my track team." "She's lying about her background, she's lying about her upbringing," Slater claimed. Slater’s post sent social media ablaze and prompted Ocasio-Cortez to respond after an image if her family’s home was posted online. “I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X Friday responding to the post. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep." “Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!"

Soon after the plaintiff lay down, Combs allegedly entered the room with “a male and female celebrity.” She then alleges that she was raped by the male celebrity as the female celebrity watched, before allegedly being raped by Combs as both celebrities watched.

The suit also alleges that after the assault, the plaintiff “fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”

The other lawsuits filed include allegations of drugging, sexual assault and rape. 

Representatives for Combs did not respond to request for comment from CBC News before publication. When earlier lawsuits against Combs were announced Oct. 1, a lawyer said Combs “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”

Court declined to release Combs from jail earlier this month

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, alleging he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees, while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.

Combs’s lawyers have been trying unsuccessfully to get the Bad Boy Records founder freed on bail. He has been held at a federal jail in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest.

Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if he is released from the Metropolitan Detention Center.
