Tyrone Blackburn, an attorney who represents three people who filed civil lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs relating to allegations of sexual assault, said Monday night that the arrest was “the first step for our clients receiving justice.”
“We leave the criminal aspect of this case in the hands of the people and justice system. As for the civil cases, we await our time for the facts to reveal themselves and seek the justice our clients deserve. We also anticipate more victims coming forward. We knew this was coming. The evidence is very clear and it was only a matter of time. This is an important step towards justice for all of Mr. Combs’ victims including my clients. Justice will prevail,” he said.
Details about the charges against Combs were not immediately released. The office of the US attorney for the Southern District of New York expects to move to unseal the indictment this morning, that office has said.
Blackburn represents Lil Rod, April Lampros and Grace O’Marcaigh, each of whom filed separate civil lawsuits against Combs this year.
Lil Rod and Lampros’ lawsuits accused Combs of sexual assault, while O’Marcaigh’s lawsuit accused Combs of aiding and abetting someone accused of sexual assault.
Those three suits were among the 10 filed against Combs since November, nine of which accused Combs of sexual assault.
