   NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexually   
   assaulting a 10-year-old boy in 2005, according to a new lawsuit that joins   
   more than two dozen others accusing the music mogul of sexual misconduct.   
      
   The civil lawsuit was one of two filed on Monday in a New York state court in   
   Manhattan by Tony Buzbee, a lawyer who says he represents more than 150   
   victims of Combs' abuse, and has filed at least 17 lawsuits.   
      
   In Monday's second lawsuit, another male accuser said he was a 17-year-old   
   auditioning for the reality TV show "Making the Band" when Combs and a   
   bodyguard sexually assaulted him in 2008.   
      
   "The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than   
   the truth," Combs' lawyers said in a statement resembling those issued after   
   earlier Buzbee lawsuits. "In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs   
   never sexually assaulted    
   or trafficked anyone--man or woman, adult or minor."   
      
   Combs, 54, has also pleaded not guilty to criminal sex trafficking charges in   
   federal court in Manhattan, where he faces felony counts of racketeering   
   conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.   
      
   Federal prosecutors have accused the Bad Boy record label founder of coercing   
   men, women and children into sex acts without their consent, bribing and   
   intimidating them into keeping quiet, and employing his staff to cover up his   
   crimes.   
      
   Combs has been held for six weeks in a Brooklyn jail after being denied bail   
   twice, and is appealing his detention.   
      
   In the complaint involving the 10-year-old, the California plaintiff known as   
   John Doe said he was an aspiring actor and rapper when a consultant whom his   
   parents had hired arranged an "audition" with Combs at a New York hotel.   
      
   According to the complaint, after Doe told Combs he would "do anything" to   
   become a star, Combs gave him a soda spiked with drugs, pushed him down, and   
   forced him to perform oral sex.   
      
   Doe said he lost consciousness, and upon waking was sore and had his pants   
   undone. He said he cried and asked to see his parents, leading Combs to say he   
   would hurt them "badly" if Doe revealed what happened, the complaint said.   
      
   In the second complaint, a different California plaintiff named John Doe said   
   Combs forced him to perform oral sex on himself and the bodyguard, with Combs   
   framing the latter as a "test" of how much Doe wanted to succeed in the music   
   industry.   
      
   Doe failed the audition, after Combs deemed him "untrustworthy due to his   
   reservations about performing oral sex on his bodyguard," the complaint said.   
      
   Combs' criminal trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025.
