Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused in one of two lawsuits filed Monday of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005.

The second lawsuit accuses the jailed hip-hop mogul of similarly assaulting a 17-year-old would-be contestant on the reality television series “Making the Band” in 2008.

The lawsuits filed in state Supreme Court in New York are the latest in a wave of lawsuits in which accusers allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties and meetings over the last two decades.

      Anecdotal evidence which could also be construed as you protecting your social status. I can’t accept your rebuttal.

        Sorry, are you seriously claiming I was okay with pedophilia in 2005? Seriously?

        After Woody Allen and Michael Jackson a few years before that?

        Fucking R. Kelly got arrested in 2002. You think no one gave a shit?

        Where were you in 2005?

          I’m not claiming anything about you. I’m just stating your rebuttal is anecdotal evidence and there is social incentive for you to make the claim that you are.

          Woody Allen and Michael Jackson a few years before that

          Both continued to produce commercially successful works well into the 2010s

          Fucking R. Kelly got arrested in 2002. You think no one gave a shit?

          A whole year before the remix to ignition became a huge hit in '03. All my friends in middle-school loved that song.

          Raping children was something that was generally permitted if you were considered high status enough.
