MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Napoli Shkolnik fully supports the Southern District of New York in their prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs related to the serious and shocking allegations of human trafficking and abuse of his victims. We currently represent alleged victims of Mr. Combs and we look forward to all of his accusers having their day in Court.
We commend the courage of all Sean Combs victims who have come forward — and are continuing to — as well as the many unknown victims of powerful celebrities who suffer from fear and threats from their perpetrators. All merit justice and freedom from harassment.
Issues Facing Victims
In an article on sexual abuse published on Medium in January 2024, Napoli Shkolnik Founding Partner Marie Napoli wrote : “…it’s important to remember that one of the reasons why only a third of sexual assaults are reported to the police is that the perpetrator often has influence over the survivor. They may occupy a position of trust, possess economic power over them, or simply be a “public figure” who seems impossible to challenge in court. As a result, it can take years for many survivors to be mentally and emotionally prepared to tell the truth about their experiences.
“… powerful people in the entertainment industry have habitually preyed upon aspiring artists and ardent fans. These high-profile lawsuits continue a trend of holding powerful, famous people to account, which can change the way the industry operates and bring compensation to survivors.”
“No one is above the law, including celebrities. Fame and money do not shield Sean “Diddy” Combs from facing the serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse he is charged with,” shares Napoli Shkolnik Partner Marie Napoli.
