New lawsuits have been filed against Sean (Diddy)Combs, which include allegationsthat he and an unnamed "male celebrity" raped a 13-year-old girl who had been drugged, as an unnamed "female celebrity" watched.

The accusers are part of what their lawyers say is a group of more than 100 alleged victimsin the process of taking legal action against Combs in the wake of his sex trafficking arrest last month.

The Buzbee Law Firmfiled five new suits in the Southern District of New York on Sunday night. Two more suits were also filed in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, respectively.

13-year-old 'fit what Diddy was looking for'

One of the suits comes from a Jane Doe who was 13 years old on or aroundSept. 7, 2000, when she tried to attend the MTV Video Music Awards. She couldn't get in to the awards show without a ticket, butapproached several limousine drivers to see if they could help her to attend an after-party.

One of the limousine drivers she spoke to claimed to work for Combs. He told her that Combs liked younger girls and said she "fit what Diddy was looking for," inviting her to an after-party.

When the plaintiff arrived at the after-party,two men asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement, saying she could not discuss what would happen that night.

After one drink, the plaintiff alleged that she "began to feel woozy and lightheaded" and made her way to an empty bedroom to lie down. The lawsuit contains an "actual" exemplary container that Combs and members of his team allegedly used to insert GHB into alcoholic drinks.

Soon after the plaintiff lay down, Combs allegedly entered the room with "a male and female celebrity." She then alleges that she was raped by the male celebrity as the female celebrity watched, before allegedly being raped by Combs as both celebrities watched.

The suit also alleges that after the assault, the plaintiff"fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life."

The other lawsuits filed include allegations of drugging, sexual assault and rape.

Representatives for Combs did not respond to request for comment from CBC News before publication. When earlier lawsuits against Combs were announced Oct. 1, a lawyer said Combs "cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus."

Court declined to release Combs from jail earlier this month

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, alleging he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees, while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.

Combs's lawyers have been trying unsuccessfully to get the Bad Boy Records founder freed on bail. He has been held at a federal jail in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest.

Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if he is released from the Metropolitan Detention Center.
