Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003, marking the fourth sexual assault allegation lodged against the producer in recent weeks.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was flown on a private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York, where she was raped by three people, including Combs and Harve Pierre, the president of Bad Boy Entertainment.

According to the suit, Combs and his associates plied her with “copious amounts” of drugs and alcohol. The suit alleges that Combs raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness, and that Combs then watched as a third man also raped her.

    Absolutely, but she was probably willing at the time.

    I don’t think most people are above having sex with rich and famous people then trying to receive money if they think they can get it. It’s just human nature.

        If I was 17 I could easily see myself having sex with a rich and powerful lady.

        I don’t think I would try to get money out of it cause I’m not a shitty person though.

          Seventeen year olds can’t consent. They’re incapable under the law. So even if she was into it, she literally couldn’t say yes. So it’s rape.

          If that’s something you disagree with, then work to get the law changed. But until that, they’re rapists and don’t blame the victim.

            I wasn’t talking about the law.

            I had sex at 17 with an adult and have 0 regrets. It’s pretty normal. I think I would’ve had more regrets if I refrained from doing it because people like you think that’s what I should do, lol.

            To put things into perspective and why it’s always good to talk specifics, I was 17 and she was 20. I guess she’s a shitty person who raped me and should be in prison, lol. We ended up being together for years, it was a great relationship :)

            But I guess from your ‘logic’, if this occurred in a different jurisdiction (or if I had waited 2 months for my 18th birthday,) then she would be off the hook for any and all judgement.

            It’s funny watching you people always pivot to the law as though every law is just and people are good based on how well they obey laws.

                I frankly don’t care how your relationship turned out.

                Okay. Then why should I care about your input on such relationships?

                Legally, she raped you.

                Legally, I don’t really care. Legally, smoking weed was against the law but I did it anyways. So is piracy. So is jaywalking.

                You clearly only care about what is and isn’t illegal. In your mind, it’s okay to have sex with 14 year olds under the right jurisdiction. In my mind, it’s not okay even if the law says otherwise.

                I’d say my experience is more the norm than an exception, at least for males. I’m glad I don’t let people like you influence me. I’d say that would be way more traumatizing, lol.

                    Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth. That’s not at all what I said.

                    Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it’s possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been “it’s illegal” when I’ve said time and time again I’m not referring to the law.

                    None of those involve other people’s consent and are all victimless crimes. Dear lord how are you this dense.

                    Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you’re delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.

                    You know what’s traumatizing? Being raped. My years of therapy agree.

                    I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.

                    It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that’s just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it’s illegal.

            I saw your deleted reply; no I don’t think it’s appropriate, see my comment.

            First off: there is no federal age of consent law. You weren’t “going off” anything.

            What you said is factually untrue. You’d see that with a quick search. That’s all I’m saying.

            No, I don’t think it’s appropriate. It is, however fucked up, still legal.

      I mean, having sex with people of certain ages is illegal for a reason so it doesn’t actually matter if she was “willing” if she was under the age of consent. Also, drugging a person removes their ability to make an informed decision to consent so again, even if she did agree to it, her consent wasn’t valid on that point either. In other words, she wasn’t capable of consenting so, ya know, rape.

        I’m not talking about convicting the perpetrator. Please stop assuming, lol.

        Legally speaking, there is no ambiguity.

        But in reality, there is. If you can’t understand that, it’s probably because you don’t want to.
