Los Angeles prosecutors are investigating sexual assault allegations made against disgraced artist and music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs, an official said Tuesday.

When asked if Combs was the target of a probe concerning alleged attacks against a male victim in 2020 and 2021, a spokesperson for L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman confirmed the investigation.
“In the fall of 2025, LAPD and LASD each presented a separate sexual assault investigation for one victim to the LA County District Attorney’s Office,” the DA’s rep said in a statement to NBC News. “We are reviewing the case.”
The allegations were made by publicist and record producer Jonathan Hay.
Hay gave NBC News permission to identify him by name.
“Standing as a survivor of the actions involving Sean Diddy Combs and Christopher CJ Wallace, I view the validation of my accounts by the LAPD and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office as a critical juncture,” Hay said in a statement to NBC News.
“This development represents a substantial advancement in my pursuit of complete accountability. Justice is prevailing.”
Combs was convicted last year on federal charges that he transported a girlfriend and another woman across state lines for prostitution.

He was cleared of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Combs was sentenced to 50 months behind bars, though the disgraced musician is appealing his convictions.
He’s now at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Attorneys for Combs did not immediately respond to messages from NBC News on Tuesday seeking comment on behalf of the musician.
