Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to face 60 civil lawsuits after criminal trial

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is set to face a jury for his federal sex trafficking trial by the end of this week, but that is far from the end.

The once iconic rapper has pleaded guilty to major charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. If he is found guilty, he could be sentenced to life in prison.

After the trial, he stands to face a whopping 60 civil lawsuits in which he faces accusations of sexual assault along with other wrongdoings.

Representing 37 victims who have already filed their civil lawsuits of sexual assault against Combs, Attorney Andrew Van Arsdale revealed that he is potentially seeing more than 400 new victims.

He plans to file the cases after the criminal trial, because his clients are fearful of what will happen if he walks free as he told CNN, “From my clients’ perspective, the reason that they were so hesitant to come forward for so long in many cases was because of the power that this individual wielded and the threats to their professional opportunities that they felt he could create. I do think there’s an idea that, ‘Oh my gosh, what if, what if he isn’t found guilty of these charges, right? What if he’s back on the streets in two months? What would have happened to me if I had made these allegations?”

“I hear about it every day,” added the attorney. “Our clients are still scared.”
