LOS ANGELES, CA — Christian "King" Combs, the 26-year-old son of hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, has been named in a lawsuit alleging he committed a sexual assault, according to multiple reports.

The lawsuit comes amidst a series of sexual assault allegations and an alleged sex trafficking scandal involving Sean Combs, which resulted in the older Combs' homes being raided late last month as part of a coast-to-coast sex trafficking investigation.

According to the new lawsuit, which was first obtained by Rolling Stone, Christian Combs is accused of sexually assaulting a woman who was working on a yacht charted by the Combs family in December 2022.

As part of a human trafficking investigation, federal law enforcement officers raided homes owned by Sean Combs or companies connected to him in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, New York, and Miami at the end of March. Aerial video from one of the properties showed several people in handcuffs, including two who appear to be Combs' sons, Justin and Christian Combs, TMZ reported.

Four separate people filed civil lawsuits against Sean Combs at the end of 2023, accusing him of rape, sex-trafficking a minor, assault and other abuses, the LA Times reported.

One of the accusers, R&B singer Cassie, accused Sean Combs of raping and physically abusing her for nearly a decade, according to a New York Times report citing a lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Cassie — whose real name is Casandra Ventura — dated Combs and claimed that not long after she met him, he abused her by giving her drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed the acts.

The suit also claims that in 2018, near the end of their relationship, Combs broke into her home and raped her, the Times reported.

Ventura was 19 when she met Combs, reports said.
