Prince Harry named in $30million sex abuse lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy' Combs
Prince Harry is named in a $30 million lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs which accused the rapper of sex trafficking and sexual abuse, it has been revealed.
Billionaire Combs is accused of drawing guests to alleged sex trafficking parties thanks to his VIP associations with celebrities, athletes, politicians, and “international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry”.
The Duke’s name is included in a lawsuit brought against Combs by record producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who has accused the music star of being a serial sexual abuser.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Prince Harry.
Combs is currently facing lawsuits from three women, on top of the claims by Mr Jones, while his homes in Los Angeles and Florida have been raided by the Department of Homeland Security.
Three women and a man were reportedly interviewed in the wake of the raids over allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.
Mr Jones, who produced songs for Combs’ 2023 “The Love Album: Off the Grid”, has accused the rapper of sexually assaulting him, and claims he threw parties attended by underage girls and sex workers, some of whom allegedly had drugs put in their drinks.
The producer claims he was ordered to recruit prostitutes for the parties, and he says he was required to work in the bathroom as the star showered naked behind a glass screen.
Combs has denied the allegations which have been made against him, calling them “sickening”. He has also called Mr Jones's claims “pure fiction”.
Mr Jones claims he endured “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping” after agreeing to work with the star, claiming abuse happened at Combs’ homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York and on board a rented yacht.
The lawsuit names Combs’ son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge as defendants. Mr Jones has also accused Motown Records, Love Records and Universal Music Group of involvement by allegedly failing to monitor the activities of the rapper.
The lawsuit, which is contested, is seeking damages for sex trafficking, sexual battery, sexual assault and harassment.
Representatives for Prince Harry have been contacted for comment.
