John Doe v. Sean Combs et al
In the summer of 2003, 19-year-old John Doe, a disc jockey, was hired to perform at a 'White Party' at Sean Combs' Hamptons residence, unaware initially it was Combs' event. While DJing by the pool, a man, possibly security, encouraged him to switch from water to cocktails. After consuming three drinks by 11:30 P.M., Doe felt woozy and nearly passed out. At midnight, post-shift, he sat on a couch, drifting in and out of consciousness. A man led him to a secluded bedroom where four men, including Combs, forcibly removed his pants and shirt, groped him, and sodomized him despite his protests. Held down and semi-conscious, Doe clearly saw Combs participating. He awoke at 9 A.M., pants down, bleeding, and in pain, coated in lubricant. As he fled, the drink-provider threatened him, saying his body would never be found if he spoke. Traumatized, Doe abandoned his music career and moved to Louisiana.
Compensatory damages for physical injuries, emotional distress, psychological harm, anxiety, humiliation, pain and suffering, and other harms; punitive damages; attorneys' fees and costs; pre- and post-judgment interest; attachment of Defendants' real property and assets in New York; and other relief deemed just and proper.
