A law firm in Texas is representing more than 50 alleged victims who claim they were sexually assaulted by Sean “Diddy” Combs and his associates.

Attorney Tony Buzbee of the Buzbee Law Firm took to his company’s Instagram page Thursday to share the news, explaining that the firm was asked by the Ava Law Group “to act as Lead Counsel to pursue claims on behalf of more than fifty individuals who suffered sexual assault and abuse at the hands of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his cohorts.”

Buzbee referred to the group as “brave” and noted that it includes “both men and women.”

He went on to allege that “many were minors when the abuse occurred.”

According to the lawyer, some of the alleged victims “reported the incidents to the police” while “others did not.”

Buzbee made sure to note that “each individual story is gut wrenching and heartbreaking,” claiming that the alleged “acts complained of occurred at hotels, private homes, and also at the infamous PDiddy ‘Freak Off’ parties.”

He described the alleged “violations” as “mindboggling … debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people against minors and the weak.”

The attorney said he expects the number of alleged victims his firm is representing to “grow” as the case “progresses” and believes “many other individuals will be implicated.”

Buzbee — who has not yet filed a formal lawsuit on behalf of the alleged victims — announced plans for a press conference early next week “where some of these stories can be told as the nation learns more and grapples with the potential scope of this scandal.”

He concluded, “Our firm has always been at the forefront of the most important cases in the United States. We are proud to represent this group of brave souls and pray for justice on their behalf.”

Reps for Combs — who has previously denied all allegations against him — did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The rapper-turned-mogul — who was arrested last week on charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution — is facing nearly a dozen lawsuits alleging sexual and physical abuse.

Though he pleaded not guilty to the aforementioned charges, he was denied bail and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

According to the indictment, federal agents discovered more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant, various narcotics and three AR-15s when they raided his Los Angeles and Miami mansions in March.

Prosecutors claimed Combs “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct” for decades, “creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in … sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Per the indictment, Combs and members of his Combs Enterprise allegedly facilitated multiple “Freak Offs”: drug-fueled sex gatherings.

During these events, the father of seven allegedly “hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” according to the indictment, which further claimed that he “subjected victims to physical, emotional and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs,” which he “often electronically recorded.”

The alleged assaults “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal,” per prosecutors.

If convicted, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years in prison.
