Imprisoned rap mogul Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs has denied a new sexual battery allegation that is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n

The allegations reportedly stem from 2020 and involve a music producer who was asked to attend a photo shoot inside a Los Angeles warehouse where Combs allegedly assaulted him.<\/p>\n

Combs, who is serving a four-year prison sentence in New Jersey for prostitution related charges, has denied this and all allegations of sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me make it absolutely clear, Mr Combs categorically denies as false and defamatory all claims that he sexually abused anyone,\u201d one of Combs\u2019 attorneys, Jonathan Davis, said in a statement to the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks forward to vindicating himself in court, where such matters are decided\u2014and not in the media\u2014based on admissible, material evidence, not rank speculation and unsubstantiated allegations,\u201d Mr Davis continued.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s department confirmed to the BBC that its special victims bureau is in the preliminary stages of investigating a sexual battery allegation against Combs. It said that additional details would not be released \u201cgiven the sensitivity of the case\u201d.<\/p>\n

The male music producer accuses Combs eof xposing himself and masturbating while at the warehouse photoshoot, according to US media. Combs is accused of asking him to assist in the sexual acts and throwing a dirty shirt when the producer refused, multiple news agencies report.<\/p>\n

Dozens of people\u00a0\u2013 including underage accusers \u2013 have filed civil lawsuits against Combs on allegations that include being drugged and sexually assaulted. Some claims include that the music mogul made both promises of career advancement or threats if accusers spoke up.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the rapper was convicted in a New York trial on two counts of transportation for prostitution. He was sentenced last month to 50 months in sentence.<\/p>\n

The high-profile criminal case accused Combs of running a sprawling sex-trafficking operation and his trial included testimony from stars that included\u00a0rapper Kid Cudi\u00a0and Combs\u2019 ex-girlfriend\u00a0Cassie Ventura.<\/p>\n

He was ultimately found not guilty of the most serious charges, which could have resulted in him spending the rest of his life in jail.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost my way,\u201d he wrote to the judge before his sentencing. \u201cMy downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core.\u201d<\/p>\n

Combs is currently serving out his sentence in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
