Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al.

In late August or early September 2000, when Plaintiff Jane Doe was sixteen years old and working part-time as a babysitter in lower Manhattan at an apartment building where Sean Combs’ romantic partner lived, she encountered Combs sitting in a car with the door open in the presence of two male employees (John Doe 1 and John Doe 2). Combs engaged her in conversation, repeatedly offered her a ride home despite her refusals (claiming it was not safe for her to walk alone late at night), and she eventually agreed and got into the SUV. The driver did not drop her off at her nearby building but continued driving past it, causing her to become scared and upset. Combs offered her a drink to “calm her down,” after which she soon became groggy, unsteady, and felt drugged and weak. Combs and the two co-defendants then drove her to another location where Combs sexually assaulted and raped her. She was eventually driven home and left in the lobby of her building by the same driver (John Doe 1 and/or John Doe 2).

Judgment against defendants for compensatory damages, punitive damages, costs, attorney's fees, injunctive and declaratory relief, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper, in an amount well in excess of the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts.
