The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has confirmed it is investigating a new sexual battery allegation against hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence for prostitution-related convictions.
Details of the New Allegation
According to a police report cited by NBC News, a male music producer and publicist has come forward with a serious claim. The accuser states he was asked to attend a photo shoot in 2020 at a Los Angeles warehouse, where the incident allegedly occurred.
The man claims that during the shoot, Combs exposed himself while masturbating and instructed the producer to assist him. Following this, Combs is alleged to have thrown a dirty shirt at the man.
The police report, which has the accuser's name redacted, explains that he felt too embarrassed to report the incident for several years. He finally came forward to police in Largo, Florida, in September 2025, shortly after Combs was convicted on other charges.
Ongoing Investigation and Previous Convictions
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department received an official copy of the report from the Florida department on Friday, 14 November 2025, and has now initiated its own investigation into the allegations.
The report also details a separate incident from March 2021, in which the accuser claims two men covered his head before Combs entered the room and called him a snitch.
These new claims emerge as Combs is already serving a four-year prison sentence. He was convicted in July 2025 of flying his girlfriends and male sex workers around the country for drug-fuelled sexual encounters over many years. However, he was acquitted of more severe sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have resulted in a life sentence.
Sean Combs is set to be released in May 2028, though his prison term could be reduced through participation in substance abuse treatment and other rehabilitation programmes.
