Overview

• Deonte Nash filed a 37-page civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County accusing Sean Combs and several of his companies of sexual battery, human trafficking, assault, and related claims.
• Nash alleges multiple incidents between 2008 and 2018, including groping, forced sexual touching, choking, stalking, and threats that he says continued after he left Combs’ employ.
• The suit names Bad Boy Entertainment and Combs Global as co-defendants and seeks compensatory and punitive damages along with a jury trial.
• Nash, who testified under subpoena at Combs’ federal trial earlier this year, says he was initially too fearful to come forward but decided to file after his court testimony.
• Combs’ legal team denies the allegations, calling Nash opportunistic and asserting that Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone, as Combs awaits sentencing on Oct. 3 following convictions on two transportation-for-prostitution counts.
