SEAN “Diddy” Combs and his son Christian are demanding a jury trial after the rapper’s eldest child was accused of sexually assaulting a woman on a yacht chartered by the rapper.

The pair were named in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in April last year by plaintiff Grace O’Marcaigh.

The former yacht stewardess alleged Christian “King” Combs physically and sexually assaulted her and claimed his father, who is named as a co-defendant, aided the attack.

The U.S. Sun has obtained a new court filing this month which shows Combs, 55, and his son, 27, are not looking at settling the case any time soon.

The document, dated May 8, stated: “Defendants Christian Combs and Sean Combs hereby demand a trial by jury on all claims so triable.”

They are both being represented by a team of attorneys from Summa LLP based in South Pasadena, California.

Filings also show they now have until May 30 to file an official response to the lawsuit and Judge Dolly M. Gee has been assigned to the case.

Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Sean and Christian Combs, previously told CNN that they believe the lawsuit contains “manufactured lies and irrelevant facts,” and said they were seeking to “dismiss this outrageous claim.”

The update comes as Combs is on trial in Manhattan federal court facing charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being supported by his family, including Christian, who has been seen at court in New York this week.
