Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused in a new lawsuit of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused in one of two lawsuits filed Monday of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005.

The second lawsuit accuses the jailed hip-hop mogul of similarly assaulting a 17-year-old would-be contestant on the reality television series “Making the Band” in 2008.

The lawsuits filed in state Supreme Court in New York are the latest in a wave of lawsuits in which accusers allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties and meetings over the last two decades.

      Hey whaddya know they were. That’s unfortunate.

      Just to be clear. In 2005 I thought the celebrities partying was cool. Had I known about the P Diddling I wouldn’t have thought it was cool .

      Stray Cat Blues by the Rolling Stones was a very popular song about having sex with a 15 year old, but for live performances they switch it to 13 year old, the live audience loves it.

      People still love David Bowie even though he raped Lori Maddox when she was 15.

      I remember my dad talking at a family bbq about how hot he thought middle school girls were. Everyone else laughed along with him.

      People were pretty open about it before the internet created an environment where they could be held accountable publicly.

          Anecdotal evidence which could also be construed as you protecting your social status. I can’t accept your rebuttal.

            Sorry, are you seriously claiming I was okay with pedophilia in 2005? Seriously?

            After Woody Allen and Michael Jackson a few years before that?

            Fucking R. Kelly got arrested in 2002. You think no one gave a shit?

            Where were you in 2005?

              I’m not claiming anything about you. I’m just stating your rebuttal is anecdotal evidence and there is social incentive for you to make the claim that you are.

              Woody Allen and Michael Jackson a few years before that

              Both continued to produce commercially successful works well into the 2010s

              Fucking R. Kelly got arrested in 2002. You think no one gave a shit?

              A whole year before the remix to ignition became a huge hit in '03. All my friends in middle-school loved that song.

              Raping children was something that was generally permitted if you were considered high status enough.
