COURTHOUSE,
March 28 – At 4:30 pm on
September 16 Inner City Press
was told by its SDNY source to
expect "the big one" - Sean
Combs - the next day in the
courtroom here.
At US Attorney
Damian Williams' press
conference Inner City Press
asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said. Detention memo on
Patreon here.
In the run-up to
the 2:30 pm hearing Combs'
counsel file a bail proposal,
with $50 million bond - filing

On mid October a
slew of cases were filed in
SDNY by the Tony Buzbee Firm,
including one by a man who
states that he was sexually
assaulted by Combs in 2022 in
a luxury home in NYC. He
/ the Buzbee Firm filed as
John Doe, then moved for
anonymity.
On March 28, 2025
the request was denied:
"Plaintiff's renewed motion to
appear anonymously is denied.
Plaintiff shall file an
amended complaint with his
true name by April 4, 2025. If
an amended complaint is not
filed by that date, or if that
deadline is not extended, the
Court will dismiss the
Complaint without prejudice.
(Signed by Judge John P.
Cronan on 3/28/2025)."
Among the
reasons: "Plaintiff argues
that “the public has a far
greater interest in knowing
who is accused of sexual abuse
and where the abuse is alleged
to have occurred than any
interest in knowing the
specific identity of a
victim.” Motion at 8. This
view of the public interest in
this litigation is too narrow"-
