Overview
- Los Angeles County prosecutors confirmed they are reviewing investigative files from the LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department about alleged sexual battery by Combs.
- The probes were presented to the DA in fall 2025 after publicist Jonathan Hay filed a police report in September 2025 alleging two incidents in 2020 and 2021.
- Hay has publicly described the DA review as a critical step and his report describes one alleged forced oral sex incident and one alleged masturbation incident involving a shirt tied to the Notorious B.I.G.
- No state criminal charges have been filed; any decision to charge would be independent of Combs’s existing 50-month federal sentence for Mann Act convictions, which he is appealing.
- Related civil disputes remain active, including a contested default judgment involving CJ Wallace, and a state charging decision could add a separate legal layer and further public scrutiny for all parties.
