Sean “Diddy” Combs faces new sex trafficking charges in lawsuit filed by former porn star Omunique

NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs faced new sex trafficking allegations Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by a former porn star who also named a woman accused of being to “Diddy” what Ghislaine Maxwell was to Jeffrey Epstein.

Adria English, who performed under the name Omunique, said she “has lived her adult life with the memory of being trapped in a cycle of sex trafficking that she never asked to participate in and was chosen because Defendant Combs knew he could groom her.”

This is at least the tenth lawsuit filed against Combs for physical abuse and sex trafficking.

According to the complaint, English met Combs while she was working as a dancer at the Hustler nightclub in New York. Her boyfriend at the time, an aspiring model, auditioned for Sean John and was told he could work if English agreed to dance at parties Combs threw in the Hamptons and Miami.

“Plaintiff did not agree to spend his entire life being used as a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others,” the lawsuit states.

English said she was forced to drink alcohol and take drugs and then “framed” as a victim of sexual assault.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, also names one Tamiko Thomas, a woman accused of facilitating Combs' alleged sex trafficking operation.

“Defendant Thomas was to Defendant Combs what Ghislaine Maxwell was to Jeffrey Epstein,” the complaint reads. “Without Defendant Thomas, a woman who uses her inherent goodwill as a woman to gain the trust of another woman, coordinating and acting as an avatar for Defendant Combs, Defendant Combs would be unable to operate his corrupt sex trafficking organization.”
