6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: one of the men a minor at the time of

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: the alleged white party assault. Crime Onlines, Dave Mack tells us.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: Like other alleged attacks, this one too, happened at a

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: white party.

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: One of Tony Busby's clients alleges that Colmbs molested him

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: at his nineteen ninety eight white party. The victim, a

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: sixteen year old aspiring artist, saw his invitation as a

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: chance to rub shoulders with big names in the industry.

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: He was shocked and confused when Colmbs took him aside

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: and told him to drop his pants if he wants

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: to break into the industry. Out of fear, the team

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: eventually complied, and Combs grabbed and held his exposed penis

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: for an extended period of time before returning to the party,

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: saying over his shoulder, will be in touch. As he

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: walked away.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 4: The remaining four John and Jane Goes all alleged that

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: Sean Combs attacked them after applying them with alcohol or

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 4: drugs at parties ranging from nineteen ninety five to twenty

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: twenty one. One woman was a freshman in college when

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: Combs locked her in a hotel room and forced her

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: to perform oral sex on him. Another man wasn't even

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: a party attendee. The victim was working as a white

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 4: party security guard when Combs forced him to take a

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 4: drink that the victim believes was laced before shoving him

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: into a van and raping him.

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: That's crime on lines. Jackie Howard, another of Buzzby's clients,

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: says he lost his job at the Flagship Harold Square

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: Macy's department store after reporting that Combs attacked him in

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: the storeroom.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: Another Busby client says he lost his job at the

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: Flagship Harold Square Macy's department store after reporting that Combs

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: attacked him in the storeroom. The victim, a branded vice

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: for rival clothing line Echo Unlimited, says he was violently

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: attacked by Colmb's bodyguards, then Combs proceeded to orally rape

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: him while calling him Echo. The victim says when he

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: reported the rape to other staff members. He was removed

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: from the store and eventually fired because Macy's did not

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: want to endanger their lucrative Shawn John Dial.

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: The seventh and most recent filing by Ariel Mitchell is

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: on behalf of Ashley Parham, a woman who claims Comb

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: and three other men quote gang raped her for making

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 2: a comment about his possible involvement in Tupac's murder. Here again,

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Dave Mack.

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 3: Ashley Parham alleges that she met Sean Combs over FaceTime

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: when a date called him in an attempt to impress her.

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: With Comb still on the phone, Ashley comments that she

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: isn't impressed and has always thought he was involved in

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Tupac's murder. Before they hang up, Combs tells Ashley she'll

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: pay for what she said. Ashley agrees to meet up

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: with her date at his apartment, but says when she arrived,

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: Comb's and three other men were waiting with knives. Ashley

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: says Combs threatened to kill her and raped her with

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: a TV remote before passing her off to the other

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: men to use.

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: In an effort to combat the lawsuits, Diddy's attorneys want

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: the judge to release the names of the victims.

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: Agniphilo has also asked that the prosecution be made to

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: name all of Ditty's accusers that may testify against him.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: Agniphilo argues that droves of anonymous lawsuits are creating a

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: hysterical media storm that will irreparably deprive mister Colmb's of

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: a fair trial. Specifically, Agniphilo references Houston attorney Tony Busby's

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: press conference claiming to represent over one hundred anonymous victims,

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: calling it a publicity stunt. Agniphilo says the only way

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: Combs can prepare an adequate defense is eliminating any surprises

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: by naming his accusers.

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: Legal experts believe an intense battle over Rule four twelve

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: will dominate pre trial proceedings. The rule states that defendants

73
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: accused of sexual assault may not enter any evidence involving

74
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: the victim sexual history, except in an attempt to prove consent.

75
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: If a judge does rule to bar any evidence regarding

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 3: a victim's sexual history, it provides an easy route to appeal.
