Getty ImagesCriminal charges against Combs could land him in prison for lifeHip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
His arrest in New York came amid a series of civil suits alleging sexual assault and physical violence, some going back to the 1990s.
More than a dozen people have filed lawsuits against the rapper, accusing him of using his influence in the entertainment industry to do everything from drugging, assaulting and raping people.
The latest batch of lawsuits include one from a man who was 16 years old at the time and said the rapper told him to unclothe at a party in New York in 1998 and another from a woman who claims Mr Combs raped her as "payback" for a comment she made suggesting that he was responsible for the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The Harlem-born rapper has denied any criminal wrongdoing.
