Sean “Diddy” Combs could be spending a lot longer behind bars depending on what a newly launched West Coast probe unearths on the much accused ex-mini mogul. As the Bureau of Prisons this week extended the Bad Boy Records founder’s time in the clink, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department has revealed it has opened an investigation into allegations of a 2020 sexual battery by Combs against a music producer. “We received an official copy of the police report from the Lago Police Department on Friday November 14, and Special Victims Bureau will be investigating the allegations,” an spokesperson for the Robert Luna-led department told Deadline this AM. All of which means, sentenced in NYC last month to four years in prison on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, Diddy may find his freedom pushed down the line. bars longer. Currently incarcerated at the cushy and relatively low-security Fort Dix FCI in New Jersey, the 55-year-old All About the Benjamins performer is accused by a Sunshine State-based industry vet of assaults in 2020 and 2021. In a statement sent to Deadline by Combs’ newly hired communications team, led by long time Harvey Weinstein spokesman Juda Engelmayer, civil attorney Jonathan Davis calls out the claims against his client as one does. “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has repeatedly stated for over a year now, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a media circus,” Davis says. “Let me make it absolutely clear, Mr. Combs categorically denies as false and defamatory all claims that he sexually abused anyone,” the lawyer adds. “He looks forward to vindicating himself in court, where such matters are decided-and not in the media-based on admissible, material evidence, not rank speculation and unsubstantiated allegations.” To get specific on those so-called “unsubstantiated allegations,” we have a redacted filing on the two occasions in question. In the first incident, Combs is said to have handed out “drugs to everyone present” at a December 2020 LA photo shoot for a Notorious B. I. G. remix project Then, in an M. O. familiar to anyone who has followed the litany of claims and complaints against Combs over the past few years, the Grammy winner “started watching porn on his cell phone, grabbed one of Biggie’s shirts off a rack, and began to masturbate with it in front of the plaintiff.” Court papers filed earlier this year say Combs finished pleasuring himself, proclaimed “Rest in peace, Biggie” and tossed the stained shirt on the producer, who has since identified himself as one John Hay. A few months later, in March 2021, Hay was invited to a meeting with B. I. G.’s son and others where he had hood was put over his head and he was forced into a room with a screaming Combs. Accusing Hay of being a “snitch,” Diddy supposedly order everyone else out and then tried “to force plaintiff to perform oral copulation on Combs, while plaintiff’s head was still covered.” The LA County Sheriff’s department is getting involved because the 2020 incident is alleged to have occurred at a storage facility in the Eastern part of the City of Angels well within their jurisdiction. If charges are laid, and if Combs is found guilty on the West Coast, the fallen mini mogul could be looking at several years in state prison in the Golden State once he is released in 2028 on the East Coast. Having said that, Combs’ time in the Garden State-based Fort Dix has gotten a bit longer. After entering Fort Dix on October 30, Combs was originally set to be let out on May 8, 2028 if there were no incidents or citations compromising his 50-month, with time served since his September 2024 arrest on sex trafficking and RICO charges. Now, the Bureau of Prisons has moved his release date to June 4, 2028. No official explanation has been given for the change. While there is a tendency to assume Combs got more time as a punishment for some sort of infringement, the math doesn’t quite add up with the extension being a mere few weeks. To that, sources close to events, believe it could be a simple case of recalculation of the specific sentence handed out by Judge Arun Subramanian earlier this fall. Also given additional sentencing conditions of a $500,000 fine (the maximum) and five years of supervised release by the Joe Biden-appointed federal judge, Combs earlier this month was granted a fast-track appeal.
