LA prosecutors review sexual battery case against Sean Combs

Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing a sexual battery case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, potentially adding new criminal charges while the music mogul serves a federal prison sentence. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed it is assessing an investigation presented by the Los Angeles Police Department regarding allegations made by publicist Jonathan Hay.

Hay alleges Combs sexually battered him on two occasions. The first incident reportedly occurred in September 2020, when Hay claims Combs masturbated into a shirt belonging to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. and threw the garment at him. The second alleged incident took place in March 2021, when Hay says Combs forcibly performed oral sex on him after calling him a “snitch.” Hay filed a police report in Largo, Florida, in September 2025, which was later transferred to Los Angeles authorities after investigators determined the alleged incidents occurred there.

In a statement, Hay described himself as a survivor and said having his accounts validated by law enforcement marked a significant turning point in his pursuit of accountability. He expressed confidence that justice would be achieved.
