\n\tSean \u201cDiddy<\/a>\u201d Combs could be spending a lot longer behind bars depending on what a newly launched West Coast probe unearths on the much-accused former mini-mogul.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the Bureau of Prisons this week extended the Bad Boy Records founder\u2019s time in the clink, the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department has revealed it has opened an investigation into allegations of a 2020 sexual battery by Combs against a music producer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe received an official copy of the police report from the Lago Police Department on Friday November 14, and Special Victims Bureau will be investigating the allegations,\u201d a spokesperson for the Robert Luna-led department told Deadline this AM. All of which means, sentenced in NYC last month to four years in prison on\u00a0two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution<\/a>, Diddy may find his freedom pushed down the line, keeping him behind bars longer.<\/p>\n

\n\tCurrently incarcerated at the cushy and relatively low-security Fort Dix FCI in New Jersey, the 55-year-old \u201cAll About the Benjamins\u201d performer is accused by a Sunshine State-based industry vet of assaults in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement sent to Deadline by Combs\u2019 newly hired communications team, led by longtime Harvey Weinstein<\/a> spokesman Juda Engelmayer, civil attorney Jonathan Davis calls out the claims against his client \u2013 as one does.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs Mr. Combs\u2019 legal team has repeatedly stated for over a year now, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a media circus,\u201d Davis says.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLet me make it absolutely clear, Mr. Combs categorically denies as false and defamatory all claims that he sexually abused anyone,\u201d the lawyer adds. \u201cHe looks forward to vindicating himself in court, where such matters are decided\u2014and not in the media\u2014based on admissible, material evidence, not rank speculation and unsubstantiated allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTo get specific on those so-called \u201cunsubstantiated allegations,\u201d we have a redacted filing on the two occasions in question.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first incident, Combs is said to have handed out \u201cdrugs to everyone present\u201d at a December 2020 L.A. photo shoot for a Notorious B.I.G.<\/a> remix project.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, in an M.O. familiar to anyone who has followed the litany of claims and complaints against Combs over the past few years, the Grammy winner \u201cstarted watching porn on his cell phone, grabbed one of Biggie\u2019s shirts off a rack, and began to masturbate with it in front of the plaintiff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCourt papers filed earlier this year say Combs finished pleasuring himself, proclaimed \u201cRest in peace, Biggie\u201d and tossed the stained shirt on the producer, who has since identified himself as one John Hay.<\/p>\n

\n\tA few months later, in March 2021, Hay was invited to a meeting with B.I.G.\u2019s son and others where a hood was placed over his head and he was forced into a room with a screaming Combs. Accusing Hay of being a \u201csnitch,\u201d Diddy supposedly order everyone else out and then tried \u201cto force plaintiff to perform oral copulation on Combs, while plaintiff\u2019s head was still covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe L.A. County Sheriff\u2019s department is getting involved because the 2020 incident is alleged to have occurred at a storage facility in the Eastern part of the City of Angels \u2014 well within their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf charges are laid, and if Combs is found guilty on the West Coast, the fallen mini mogul could be looking at several years in state prison in the Golden State once he is released in 2028 on the East Coast.<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving said that, Combs\u2019 time in the Garden State-based Fort Dix has gotten a bit longer.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter entering Fort Dix on October 30, Combs was originally set to be let out on May 8, 2028<\/a> if there were no incidents or citations compromising his 50-month, with time served since his September 2024 arrest on sex trafficking and RICO charges. <\/p>\n

\n\tNow, the Bureau of Prisons has moved his release date to June 4, 2028.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo official explanation has been given for the change.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile there is a tendency to assume Combs got more time as a punishment for some sort of infringement, the math doesn\u2019t quite add up with the extension being a mere few weeks. To that, sources close to events, believe it could be a simple case of recalculation of the specific sentence handed out by Judge Arun Subramanian earlier this fall.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso given additional sentencing conditions of a $500,000 fine (the maximum) and five years of supervised release by the Joe Biden<\/a>-appointed federal judge, Combs earlier this month was granted a fast-track appeal. <\/p>\n

\n\tJuicing up the usually snail\u2019s-pace justice system, which is traditionally terrible at handling high profile cases, the deadlines put forth on November 3 <\/a>by U.S. Circuit Court Judge Beth Robinson will see the appeal handled by mid-2026 \u2013 just in time for Combs to actually gain some time out before his sentence ends if he\u2019s granted his freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs could be spending a lot longer behind bars depending on what a newly launched West…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[8683,88,35083,3319,156012,3990,36598],"class_list":{"0":"post-299701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-diddy","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-harvey-weinstein","11":"tag-joe-biden","12":"tag-notorious-b-i-g","13":"tag-sean-diddy-combs","14":"tag-sean-combs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
