High-profile Houston attorney Tony Buzbee is vetting claims of assault made by more than 3,800 people from across the U.S. against hip-hop mogul Sean «Diddy» Combs.
Combs, 54, was arrested on Sept. 16 by federal agents and is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on accusations of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering.
Buzbee intends to start filing civil suits against Combs alleging violence, sexual assault or rape, sexual abuse, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, false imprisonment, compelling prostitution, sexual misconduct, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse of minors.
So far, Buzbee said he has vetted the allegations of 120 individuals and accepted them as clients. Of the clients he has accepted, Buzbee says exactly half are men and half are women.

He said 62% identify as African American and 30% are white. Twenty-five of his clients told the attorney that they were underage when they were victimized.
He said a few of the clients are from Houston.
The alleged assaults happened over the last 25 years, but Buzbee said most have been since 2015.
Buzbee said they have received pictures, videos, and texts from the clients they have accepted to corroborate their stories. Some of them have already spoken to the FBI, and he said others might move forward depending on their comfort level.
He said his office has received more than 3,200 calls from people who claim to be victims. They are working to vet those claims. They are now employing a former major offenders detective from Houston police to help them.
The alleged assaults are said to have taken place primarily in Manhattan, the Hamptons, Los Angeles, and Miami.
