Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to be sentenced in his criminal sex-crimes case, while a mountain of civil lawsuits sits on the horizon.
At the conclusion of Combs' seven-weeklong federal trial in July, Combs was found guilty of the two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
His sentencing is set for Friday, Oct. 3.
Diddy's signature lifestyle of excess appears central to his downfall. Many of the following alleged victims recall being given spiked drinks at Combs' purportedly self-indulgent soirees, including his infamous White Parties and alleged hotel "freak offs," as well as what should have been professional settings. Incidents allegedly happened during auditions for his artists' music videos and for his MTV reality series "Making the Band."
Other accusers claim Combs recorded the alleged assaults and shared the videos with others.
The alleged victims range from children and teens to adults, seemingly in Combs' orbit by happenstance, or young men and women who sought to make inroads in the music industry, seeing association with the Bad Boy record executive as an opportunity to pursue their dreams, apparently quickly shattered.
Others include shortterm and longterm romantic partners. Combs' alleged abuse of his partners may go as far back as his days at Howard University, when a fellow student recalled him beating a woman. Years later, his relationship with singer Cassie and his on-and-off romantic relationship with actress Kat Pasion may also show patterns of alleged abuse.
Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine and three anonymous alleged victims, some of which on the list thereon, testified in his federal sex-trafficking trial.
The music mogul has denied all of the allegations, aside from an apology video following the release of security footage in which Combs is seen beating Cassie, though Combs claimed the video has been altered.
To date, more than 70 lawsuits have been filed against Combs. In October 2024, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee announced he would represent 120 individual accusers. Alleged victims represented by Buzbee now account for about half of the lawsuits filed so far.
Here is a complete (and developing) list of his accusers.
Cassie, Dawn Richard, actress Kat Pasion among alleged Diddy victims
The following is a list of the people who have publicly accused Combs, from the first lawsuit filed by Cassie in November 2023 to the most recent suit in June 2025. It includes accusers named in court records, as well as anonymous alleged victims identified as Jane or John Doe. The list will be updated as new filings or rulings surface.

Lampros' lawsuit was significantly reduced in July 2025, after a New York judge dismissed all but one claim.
Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith
A longterm Michigan inmate who said Diddy allegedly assaulted him at a Detroit Holiday Inn afterparty. He received a default civil suit judgment in September 2024, which was reversed a week later.
