Prince Harry named in $30 million sex-trafficking lawsuit against Diddy
Prince Harry’s name has been dropped in a $30 million sex-trafficking lawsuit filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
However, the British royal is not a defendant and has not been accused of any criminal charges.
According to court documents filed last month by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, guests were drawn to Diddy’s sex-trafficking parties due to his “access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artist [sic], musicians and international dignitaries like British royal Prince Harry.”
Back in 2007, Prince William, 41, and Harry, 39, met the now-controversial rapper, 54, during a party hosted to thank everyone involved in the “Concert for Diana” benefit at Wembley Stadium – held in honor of the late Princess Diana.
Harry had posed for pictures with Kanye West and Diddy at the time. However, it remains unknown if they ever hung out again.
Diddy homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security on March 25 amid an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Federal law enforcement agents were seen arriving at the rapper’s lavish Holmby Hills neighborhood of LA and in Miami with their guns drawn.
Diddy was seen pacing back and forth outside a Miami airport as agents swarmed his properties in Florida and Los Angeles.
The raid on the property comes amid numerous lawsuits being filed against Diddy – including accusations of assault and human trafficking.
In November 2023, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura was first to accuse him of rape, abuse, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes as he watched. The case was swiftly settled out of court - just a day after filing - as he dodged a trial to address the allegations.
American singer Aubrey O'Day had previously criticized the justice system amid the Diddy-Cassie lawsuit settlement. Over the years she had accused Diddy of making unwanted sexual advances and being involved in shady business practices.
Just weeks after settling the case with Cassie, he was charged with three other lawsuits from women claiming sexual assault by him.
One woman claimed that in the early 1990s, she and a friend of hers were raped by Diddy and singer Aaron Hall.
Another woman accused Diddy of gang raping her in 2003 when he was 34 and she was 17 years old.
Last month, in February, he was sued by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a former male employee, of sexual assault while he was working on the 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid.
Jones, who is a producer and videographer, claimed the abuse occurred repeatedly from September 2022 to November 2023. He also alleged that his former employer forced him to perform inappropriate acts with sex workers – with claims that he once woke up in bed with his boss – all drugged up.
