LAPD reviews additional sexual assault allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Authorities in Los Angeles are reviewing additional sexual assault allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is serving a federal prison sentence.

In a statement to multiple outlets on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Nathan Hochman, the Los Angeles county district attorney, confirmed that the office was reviewing the allegations, saying: “In the fall of 2025, LAPD and LASD each presented a separate sexual assault investigation for one victim to the LA county district attorney’s office.”

“We are reviewing the case,” the spokesperson added.

The review comes after Combs, 56, was sentenced last year by a federal district court in Manhattan to 50 months in prison on charges related to transporting women for prostitution. If prosecutors ultimately pursue charges in Los Angeles, he could face another trial.

The accuser, who has publicly identified himself as record producer Jonathan Hay, told NBC: “Standing as a survivor of the actions involving Sean Diddy Combs and Christopher CJ Wallace, I view the validation of my accounts by the LAPD and the Los Angeles county district attorney’s office as a critical juncture.”

He added: “This development represents a substantial advancement in my pursuit of complete accountability. Justice is prevailing.”

Hay accused Combs last year of assault, sexual harassment, false imprisonment, as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress. In 2020, Hay had been working on a project for the estate of the late Christopher Wallace, famously known as Notorious BIG, when Combs allegedly instructed him to put on some of Wallace’s clothing, according to court documents reviewed by WFLA.

Combs “started watching porn on his cell phone in front of [him],” Hay alleged, and “then grabbed one of Biggie’s shirts off a rack and began to masturbate with it in front of [Hay]”.

Hay told WFLA that after the incident, he informed Wallace’s son, CJ Wallace, and another individual in reports as Wallace’s co-producer, Willie Mack, about what happened. The lawsuit alleges those two men subsequently took Hay to meet Combs, who allegedly sexually assaulted him.
