Men who were young at the time of the alleged assaults have made charges in both of the New York-filed lawsuits.
In one case, the claimed victim was ten years old. According to the second, Mr. Combs allegedly attacked a teenage lad who was trying out for the rapper’s popular MTV reality show “Making the Band.”
Mr. Combs “never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” according to a statement he gave to the news.

In recent months, Mr. Combs has been the target of over two dozen lawsuits alleging.
The rapper is also charged with federal criminal offenses related to a conspiracy involving suspected sex trafficking and racketeering. To those accusations, he entered a not guilty plea.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who has stated that he represents over 100 alleged victims, filed the two complaints on Monday. He also promises to bring dozens of lawsuits against Mr. Combs in the upcoming weeks.
According to the plaintiff in the first action, which was filed anonymously, Mr. Combs assaulted him in 2005 when he was ten years old and hoping to be a rapper and actor.
The boy’s parents hired an industry consultant to help them support their son’s entertainment goals, and the consultant recommended that they visit New York.
