Another woman is taking legal action against hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs over allegations of sexual violence. According to court documents, actress Adria English also accuses Combs of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation in her lawsuit filed in a court in New York on Wednesday.

English is demanding a jury trial against Combs and an undisclosed amount of damages. This is the ninth court case brought against Combs since last November.

Serious allegations again
In the latest case, Combs is accused of exploiting English, who also used to work as a porn actress, as a "sexual object for the pleasure and financial gain of others" at parties on his estates between 2004 and 2009.

Due to the "numerous cases" against Combs, there is "growing awareness that defendant Combs was involved in far worse acts than previously known, including physical abuse and human trafficking for sexual exploitation".

Multiple lawsuits
Combs is facing multiple lawsuits from people accusing him of sexually abusing them. He has denied all the allegations made against him. His lawyer initially refused to comment on the latest lawsuit against his client.

In May, the news channel CNN also published surveillance camera footage from a hotel showing Combs beating his then girlfriend Casandra Ventura, throwing her to the ground, dragging her behind him and kicking her.

Combs, known under the stage names Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Diddy, rose to become one of the most successful hip-hop musicians in the world in the 1990s. The three-time winner of the US Grammy music award is also a successful music producer and businessman.
