New Legal Firestorm Surrounds Diddy as DA Reviews Sexual Battery Allegations
Sean “Diddy” Combs is once again at the center of a growing legal storm—this time involving a new criminal review by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office tied to disturbing sexual battery allegations.
According to law enforcement sources, detectives have officially completed a months-long investigation and submitted their findings for review, potentially opening the door to new criminal charges against the embattled music mogul.
The allegations stem from a police report filed by publicist Jonathan Hay, who claims Diddy sexually battered him on two separate occasions in 2020 and 2021.
And what investigators are now reviewing reads like one of the most controversial offshoot cases connected to the wider Diddy legal saga.
Publicist Claims Two Separate Incidents
According to the report obtained by TMZ, Hay initially filed his complaint in Florida before the case was transferred to Los Angeles authorities—where he alleges the incidents occurred.
Hay claims he was working on a music-related project involving Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace’s son, CJ Wallace, when he first came into contact with Diddy during studio sessions.
Because of Diddy’s historic connection to Biggie, Hay says the encounters began under the pretense of professional collaboration.
But his allegations describe a far more disturbing series of events.
In the first alleged incident in September 2020, Hay claims he ended up alone in a room with Diddy, where he alleges the music mogul engaged in sexually explicit behavior involving a piece of clothing connected to the late rapper.
Hay further claims Diddy then threw the item at him in what he described as a degrading act.
But that was only the beginning of what he says followed.
And the second allegation is even more serious.
Second Alleged Incident Adds to Investigation
Hay alleges that in March 2021, while continuing work in Los Angeles, he again found himself in a private setting with Diddy.
This time, he claims the situation escalated into a forced sexual act, describing conduct that investigators are now actively reviewing as part of the DA’s decision-making process.
Authorities have not publicly filed charges, and Diddy has not been convicted in relation to these specific allegations.
However, the fact that the case has moved from police investigation to prosecutorial review marks a significant development.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office confirmed the matter is currently under evaluation to determine whether criminal charges are warranted.
And that decision could reshape an already intense legal landscape surrounding the hip-hop mogul.
A Case Connected to Music Industry History
One of the more unusual elements in the complaint is its connection to hip-hop history.
Hay claims his work with CJ Wallace—son of the late Notorious B.I.G.—was what initially brought him into contact with Diddy.
Diddy, who played a central role in launching Biggie’s career in the 1990s, has long been tied to the legacy of the late rapper.
That history adds an emotional and symbolic layer to the allegations now being reviewed.
What was once a foundational relationship in hip-hop history is now being referenced in a criminal investigation.
And that contrast has only intensified public attention around the case.
Diddy Already Serving Federal Sentence
The new allegations come as Diddy is already serving a federal prison sentence following his 2025 conviction for violating the Mann Act by transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution-related purposes.
He was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, but was still sentenced to 50 months in federal custody.
Now, with this latest LA case under review, Diddy’s legal situation may not be finished expanding.
If prosecutors decide to move forward, it could add another layer of legal exposure to an already high-profile federal conviction.
Diddy’s representatives have not issued a public response to the latest allegations.
Social Media Reacts as Legal Pressure Builds
News of the DA review quickly spread across social media, where reactions ranged from shock to fatigue as the long-running legal saga continues to expand.
Some users expressed disbelief at yet another case entering the pipeline.
Others pointed to the growing number of civil and criminal allegations connected to the music mogul over the past several years.
The internet had thoughts, and they were not holding back.
Within hours, discussion threads across X and Instagram were filled with commentary about whether additional charges were inevitable—or whether the case would stall at the review stage.
For many observers, the biggest takeaway wasn’t just the allegations themselves—but how frequently new claims continue to surface.
What Happens Next
At this stage, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office is reviewing evidence submitted by detectives to determine whether the case meets the threshold for criminal prosecution.
No formal charges have been filed yet, and there is no timeline for a decision.
If prosecutors proceed, Diddy could face additional legal battles on top of his existing federal sentence.
If they decline, the case may remain part of the broader civil and investigative record surrounding the embattled mogul.
Either way, the scrutiny is not slowing down.
With another potential criminal case now under review, Diddy’s legal troubles continue to widen in scope—and the question now is whether this latest investigation becomes another charge in an already historic downfall.
