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.

‘DANGEROUS SITUATION’

In the 33-page civil suit, O’Marcaigh alleged she was 25 when she was working on a super-yacht called ‘Victorious’ in December 2022 when Combs leased it.

She claimed the disgraced music mogul “had full control of the staff and premises of the yacht” over the holiday period.

The suit alleged: “During the second week of the charter service, there was a significant amount of partying and drug use, which caused the guests to stay up throughout the night.

“The make-up of the yacht quickly evolved from just Defendant S. Combs and his family to include a constant rotation of suspected sex workers and other A-list celebrities such as French Montana and actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.”

The stars have not been accused of any wrongdoing.

O’Marcaigh claimed Combs “turned what was sold as a wholesome family excursion into a hedonistic environment.”

“Staff was often treated with disrespect, suspected sex workers were sprawled out unconscious about the yacht, and it was difficult to distinguish which bottles of alcohol were laced with drugs and which bottles were not,” the suit went on.

The former stewardess claimed staff on the boat were encouraged to drink, and on one occasion she was asked by Christian to sit next to him which she deemed “inappropriate”.

He allegedly became “aggressive,” grabbed her by the arm, and began hurting her as he demanded she do a shot of tequila, after which he begged her to do more.

“Plaintiff was quite scared and realized she was in a very dangerous situation,” the suit claims.

“Plaintiff was also feeling the effect of the tequila shots and quickly suspected that the tequila was spiked.

“At this point, the situation escalated, and Plaintiff started to be physically assaulted by Defendant C. Combs.

“He touched Plaintiff’s legs, breasts, anus, and vagina.

“He also tried to kiss her and proceeded to kiss her neck, face, and hands.”

Rodney Jones, a record producer who separately filed a $30 million sexual assault and sexual harassment lawsuit against Combs, allegedly recorded all of the party.

A supposed transcript of an audio recording from a makeshift studio on the yacht is included in the filing.

O’Marcaigh allegedly said to Christian, “You are drugging me?” and “Excuse me, you don’t touch my legs like that. I’ll move my legs where I want to.”

Christian then allegedly demanded she find him a place to sleep on the yacht and she suggested the cinema room as there were no spare cabins available.

The suit claimed: “The cinema has one door to exit and enter. Plaintiff entered the room, and Defendant C. Combs blocked her from exiting.

“Plaintiff retreated to a corner of the room, and Defendant C. Combs
became physical and extremely aggressive. He cornered Plaintiff and started to grope her. Plaintiff pushed him back constantly.

“Defendant C. Combs then took off all of his clothes. His penis was erect, and he grabbed her arms and was trying to force Plaintiff to perform oral copulation on him.

“The Plaintiff began fighting Defendant C. Combs, and not long after, her partner on board entered the cinema.”

The suit claims this “startled” her alleged attacker and she was finally able to flee.

The next day, O’Marcaigh alleged she complained to the ship’s captain but she was not taken seriously and Combs and his family gave a generous tip.

The lawsuit accuses Combs of orchestrating a cover-up, stating, “Only a few members of the ship’s staff were required to write statements.

“Plaintiff and her partner were the only two staff members not interviewed and not asked to write a statement.”

The lawsuit included photographic evidence of bruises on O’Marcaigh’s forearm that she alleges were inflicted by Christian.

O’Marcaigh was “isolated and retaliated against” after making the complaint and was later terminated on or around May 10, 2023, according to the complaint.

She allegedly lost her partner who struggled to deal with the situation having seen the bruises on her body and dealt with the “mental and emotional ramifications.”

O’Marcaigh suffered anxiety and panic attacks, developed an eating disorder, and even thought about ending her own life, the suit claimed.
