A lawyer said Tuesday he is representing 120 accusers who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against hip-hop mogul Sean’ Diddy Combs, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said he expects the lawsuits to be filed within the next month, with the majority expected to be filed in New York and Los Angeles. Buzbee described the victims as 60 men and 60 women, and 25 were minors at the time of the alleged abuse. One man alleged he was 9 years old when he was abused, Buzbee said. The charges cover the period from 1991 to this year.

“This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should never have been allowed to go on for so long. This conduct has created a group of individuals who are hurt, afraid and scarred,” Buzbee said at a news conference.

After the charges were announced in Texas, an attorney for Combs said that the artist “cannot address every baseless allegation that has become a reckless media circus.”

“As noted, Mr. Combs emphatically and unequivocally rejects any claims that he sexually abused anyone, including minors, as false and offensive,” attorney Erica Wolfe said in a statement. “He is eager to prove his innocence and vindicate himself in court, where the truth will be established on the basis of evidence, not speculation.”

Buzbee said that more than 3,280 individuals contacted his firm alleging that they had been victimized by Combs and that after investigating the allegations, his firm decided to represent 120 people. Other cases are still under review. He said some of his clients have talked to the FBI.

The individuals Buzbee’s company is representing are from more than 25 states, the majority of whom are California, New York, Georgia and Florida.

Buzbee said the abuse being alleged occurred mostly at parties held in New York, California and Florida where individuals were given drug-laced drinks.

Some of the alleged conduct occurred at auditions where “many times, especially young people, people wanting to get into the industry were forced into this type of conduct under the promise of making them a star,” Buzbee said.

Combs, 54, has been held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since pleading not guilty Sept. 17 to federal charges that he used his “power and prestige” to lure female victims into drugging, male sex. Had to perform elaborate sexual acts with. Activists at events called “Freak Offs”.

Other alleged victims have already filed lawsuits against Combs that include allegations of sexual assault.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His lawyer said he was innocent and would fight to clear his name.

Combs is one of the most renowned music executives, producers and artists in hip-hop, having won three Grammys and working with artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112. He founded Bad. Boy Records in 1993, the influential fashion line Sean John, a vodka brand and the Revolt TV network. He sold his stake in the latter company in June this year.

Buzbee has also represented women who accused NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual harassment and misconduct.
